5/25 -- GOOD

"We have great water on all of the branches, great cloud cover, and lots of bugs too. We are seeing lots of different bugs throughout the system which is great but can really complicate matching the hatch when you have good numbers of 4 different bugs in varying life stages. We have been seeing good numbers of 14-16 Sulphurs on all branches starting around 2pm."

5/17 -- GOOD

High and semi-turbid. "East Branch- is high and floatable only. It is not wadeable… Sulphurs have started to become more consistent. The West Branch is high, It is not wadeable but floatable… Caddis are about in the morning while Sulphurs, Gray Fox and March Browns are about later in the day."

5/10 -- GOOD

"The East Branch is very high and will need a day or two to come down. The Upper West and Upper East are still fishable. For the next few days there should be some excellent streamer action. Yesterday there was heavy activity with Hendricksons, March Browns and Sulfurs on the tailwaters."

5/4 -- GOOD

"the Upper Delaware river is bug soup and the dry fly action is great. Yesterday was the first day that I really saw good numbers of Sulfurs and March Browns on the water. " "Last night's storms brought rivers up a little, and added some color in spots."

4/27 -- GOOD

"significant hatching starting from about 1PM and running until 6PM or so, conisisting of Hendricksons, small Baetis, and Apple Green Caddis. The West Branch was the predominant Hot Spot, but the East and Main also fished pretty darn well."

4/20 -- GOOD

"The weather has helped hatches and fishing in general. East Branch- The flow is low and clear so this should make for some challenging fishing on this river. There are still Hendricksons in the afternoon along with Caddis and spinners. The West Branch remains low due to the small water release. It is wadeable only.Caddis, small Olives, still some Hendricksons and there are spinners later in the day."
