The Hendricksons, they are a poppin’ and the feeshes are a lookin’ up.
Yesterday, 04/22/09, afternoon saw the first real hatches start on the West Branch of the Delaware River. We are now seeing some good Hendrickson and caddis action to dry flies.
Right now the river is quite low, too low for drift boats, but fishing great for wading anglers.
A quick look at the Hale Eddy Gauge indicates a current water temperature of just over 42 degrees Fahrenheit and a discharge of 226 cubic feet per second. The weather this weekend looks like it will cooperate nicely for all of us fair weather fishermen, temps. in the mid. 70’s on Friday and temps. in the mid. 80’s for Saturday and Sunday. What’s that you say? You don’t know what flies to use? Find some that look like these refined beauties and you’ll do just fine.
