Angler 119's Delaware River Fishing Report
Where things stand on the first day of summer.
Posted on June 21 2018
It's the first day of summer and we need rain. Lots of it. The reservoirs are fine, right where they should be. NYC is seeing to that. But the tribs are drying up, the releases have been cut back and the BK, BE and almost all of the BR are too warm to fish. The adult fish are being stressed by the low oxygen content in the warm water. In the tribs the brown and rainbow fingerlings are becoming...
Cold water, lots of bugs and rising fish. Who could ask for more?

Yesterday there wasn't a fly in any of my boxes that got the job done. Collected samples of three different flies that were hatching, put 'em in the fridge when I got back to the camp, took 'em out this morning went to work. Tied a couple dozen flies in different shades of the yellowish green body and yellow/gray wings. Also tied emergers in various stages of emergence. Lastly I went to a...
Your questions, my answers.
Posted on June 19 2018
Recently I received three questions in the comments section and thought maybe the answers might be helpful to all.
Brian - You aren't the only one who has asked. I'm not a typist and it's just easier for me to use initials for the rivers.
BK = Beaverkill
BR = Big River, Main Stem, The Delaware
UEB = The East Branch from Downsville to East Branch (the Sunoco Station)
BE = The East Branch below "Jaws"...

The way things are.

Fished both branches and the big river today with mixed results.
The BR: With the 700 cfs release from Stilesville the middle section of the BR was in play today. The release was cut back to just under 400 cfs again at noon and any amount of sunshine will put the water temp over 70. Today the river had browns and rainbows willing to eat a fly with a hook in it (always a good thing) and I did better...
