Expect partly cloudy weather early on today, with light showers in the forecast for mid-afternoon. Yesterday’s slow rain and lack of sunshine helped give all parts of the Delaware River system a much-needed cool down in water temperatures. The rain has also added some color to the water, which in addition to the higher flows, should make for good streamer fishing. On the surface, look for fish rising on Sulphurs, Isos, BWOs and Caddis throughout the day. Consider bumping up your tippet to a larger size in this slightly off-color water—it could make all the difference in landing that trophy trout.
