If you love caddis then yesterday was your day to be on the Delaware. Apple and Small tan caddis were out it abundance despite the wind. A lot of caddis. Plus a few Hendricksons and blue quills on some sections and March Browns and Gray Fox on other sections. Have your blue wing olives ready on all sections. We should be the cahills and even the sulphurs soon on the lower river sections. Today looks similar with a few more clouds. River flows are in great shape for floating and wading. 600 cfs on the West Branch is just about perfect after a high water early Spring.
Today will be 63 degrees, cloudy, with a slight chance of a rain shower. Total rainfall will be negligible. Wind will be 10 – 15 mph from the South.
