Happy Father's Day To All The Dad's Out There, (dutifully flippin' burgers at the family BBQ wishin' they were fishin' ).

Today is the longest day of the year and I'm not fishing. Yesterday was two seconds shorter than today and tomorrow will be one second shorter. Probably no one but me will notice or care. For me, however, the pendulum has started to swing towards the dark days of December and it saddens me a bit. On the other hand I will take joy in the knowledge that on December 21 the days start to get longer.

The Invaria have been the stars of the show for the last few weeks and are in their full glory up above Deposit. Have seen a few Dorothea's on the lower WB, hopefully the Invaria will hold on until the Dortheas arrive up river, usually sometime in the first week of July. Right now there are consistent afternoon hatches on the upper WB, with little else going on until the last hour of light when there are both bugs hatching and spinners falling throughout the WB.  Have not been over to the EB in over a week but the format there is generally the same. 

The fishing report has gotten better and better this year with more and more contributions from people who are adept with both rod and pen, (Jack and Charlie deserve kudos for their recent efforts). The increased number of trip reviews and recaps of your day on the river, help readers know what to expect when planning a trip to the Delaware. If the comments continue, it's clear that soon my only job will be to find appropriate titles for each days report.

I noticed that its been three weeks since I last answered questions. Will try to deal with them tomorrow.
