Delaware River Report: May 27, 2022

The wind was unkind yesterday but there were enough breaks that the bugs came out and fish were landed. Caddis, March Browns, Gray Fox, Cahills, and sulphurs are on the water. Tan #18 caddis seemed to be the most productive bug in the afternoon. The fish are starting to like the cahills. We have good cloud cover this morning. The air temp should hit 70 degrees with wind 10 – 15 mph from the South. There is a potential of some thunderstorms in the afternoon so be prepared.
