Upper Delaware River Report – June 14, 2010

The flows are up and the skies are cloudy, which means today should be a great day to fish.  The recent rain has brought the river up to some of the best levels we have seen in weeks.  The water clarity has also changed from clear to stained which is another good sign that the fish will be eating.  BWO’s and Sulphurs are still hatching well, so be sure to check the size of the fly your rigging up.  If you happen to run into a patch of fog try blind casting an Iso or throw a streamer at the banks.
