Upper Delaware River Report – June 15, 2010

Today we are looking at partly cloudy skies and warm air temperatures, with a high of around 87 º.  There are still a few traces of fog on the river that might cause some visibility issues.  With the overcast skies today we can be sure to see a good olive hatch ranging in size 16-24.  Isos have also been spotted in small numbers along with some Golden Drakes on the water in the past few days.  If you don’t have a target, drum the banks or the riff with a 12 2XL stimulator to try and pull one of those famous Delaware Trout out of the water.  Scattered T-Storms and overcast skies are in the forecast for the remainder of the week which could set us up for a great weekend of fishing.
