Expect a lot of sunshine early on, with hopefully more clouds as the day progresses. The forecast for today shows early afternoon showers followed by evening thunderstorms throughout much of the night. Once again, the West Branch is the place to fish, offering the coolest water temperatures on the Delaware River System. As the temperature creeps up, the bugs will be more active in the later evening. Be sure to have sulphur and caddis patterns with you, as those will be the predominant bugs on the water. During the hot day time, try nymphing if you don’t have rising fish to cast to. Look to the riffles and faster water, as the fish will be gathering there in the cooler, more oxygenated water.
