Late June Action on the Delaware It's summer now and the Trout fishing conditions remain great throughout the Upper Delaware River System. Water flows remain on the high side for early summer and there are still some areas where wading access remains a bit challenging. As we head into the weekend anglers can expect to see the flows continue to drop slowly. There is always a chance of passing thunder storms at this time of year and over the weekend there is a chance on both Saturday and Sunday afternoon. Other than that we are forecast for sun with temps. around 80 degrees. With the current trend of falling river flows and 80 degree temperatures the freestones, Beaverkill, Willowemoc, Lower E
MID JUNE ACTION Catskill and Upper Delaware River The spring fly fishing season continues on! As has been the case since opening day the weather, river conditions, and insect hatches are running late. It is still very cool in our region and our river are in prime condition.

WEEKEND OUTLOOK This weekend we are forecast for some beautiful weather. This is the first time since the season opened on April 1 that there is no rain in the forecast on both Saturday and Sunday. It's big bug time so the fishing around the Upper Delaware / Catskill region is great. At this time all of our rivers are running at flows that allow wade anglers about unlimited access.

Our guide staff has been running hard for 2 months now. We have had everyone on the water every day. We are currently covering huge amounts of
