This season has granted us with great conditions day in and day out. We are hoping for a some rain to bump up the early summer flows or raise up the reservoirs enough to get a significant release bump. Rain is in the forecast, but often goes around us, or drops less rain than expected in the Delaware watershed. keep your fingers crossed. Otherwise, the Isonychia hatch has been great, with periodic days of Blue Winged Olives and Caddis regularly. Sulphurs are heaviest on the West Branch this time of year, and we must keep an eye on the water temperatures on the Main Stem. This spring showed us a very healthy class of Rainbow trout.
Our Mixed bag spin fishing trips have been incredible, with many 18-25” Striped bass making the Upper Delaware their temporary home, they hit hard and fight hard, and are being caught almost daily during June. Some 12-16” Smallmouth bass have been around with plenty of cookie cutters daily, and the Walleye come to the net on cloudy days too.
