Upper Delaware River Report – June 7, 2010

Yesterday’s prediction held true, as anglers saw good action on streamers early in the day. Fish were rising later on and the Sulphurs continued to hatch in good numbers.  Recent weather has helped continue to cool down water temperatures, making parts of the Upper Main Stem fishable that were previously too warm.  Water all over is still slightly off-colored due to recent rains, so take advantage of reduced visibility by getting closer to your target and making shorter, more accurate casts.
