Delaware River Report: May 28, 2022

Most of yesterday’s storms slid around us and the rivers are in good shape this morning. We had some rain that bumped the flows but not enough to matter. Today the are calling for 1/10th of an inch. We may see some thunderstorms in the afternoon so keep an eye on the radar and be prepared. Hopefully they follow the same path as yesterday’s storm. Caddis, March Browns, Gray Fox, Cahills, and sulphurs are on the water. The dark #16 Brachycentrus caddis are out and we are seeing some of the big Psilotetra caddis. A few Green Drakes are out but it’s not quite a hatch yet. It will hit 68 degrees with wind 10 – 15 mph from the North.
