 Upper Delaware Region

Over the last few days we've had a nice break in the winter weather. The sun has been out and the daytime temps. have risen into the 40's. I've taken advantage of this break and have been out fishing the last few afternoons.

Right now we are in the brief period each year where the fishing conditions are good prior to the spring thaw and associated runoff. If the weather remains warm or some rainfall moves though the area the current conditions won't hold for long. There is currently a heavy snow pack both in the valleys and on the mountains. In most of the places I fished recently the snow was knee deep and heavily packed.

Over the  last few days I've seen quite a few fish rising for the time of the year. I believe this is due to the low water conditions and the fact that the water temps. are quite high for the date. There have been some Early Stonefly's, Midges, and a few Caddisflies on the water. The surface feeding fish have only been up when there is no wind and they are only rising in the very slow deep pools. The best activity has been from 1:00 to 3:00 pm.

I have had my best success however fishing nymphs. The last few days I've tried a combination of indicator and tight line / Euro style nymphing techniques. Both have had success but most of my success has been deep nymphing with a long leader and weighted flies in water over 10 feet deep. These places always have the highest concentrations of fish at this time of year and if you get a fly in front of them they'll eat.

We should be in for a treat later this spring when our major hatches begin. The shallows / edges of the river are alive with nymphs. Every rock is crawling with caddis flies and when you flip some rocks there are tons of mature Mayfly nymphs ready to go.

Here are a few pics from yesterday.
