Docsflies - Archives (April 2007)

27Apr07 - Well there you have it. If I hadn't said anything in my previous report the Delaware probably would've been good fishing this weekend. This morning's early rain appears to have brought the river up to the same levels as last Friday. If you do attempt to fish under these conditions watch the current, don't wade out too far, consider an inflatable life preserver waist pack and walk slowly. The water will be sufficiently murky that the bottom will be difficult to see.

22Apr07 - I re-visited the Delaware River and my favorite trib. Both areas were roughly 2-3 feet above normal. The Delaware was still ripping and pushed me back to fish the trib. Although the water was high it was fishable. In less than 3 hours, I managed to land two smallmouth bass on a small purple woolly bugger. The largest measured 18" and fought well. Water temperature was noticeably warmer in the trib. verse the Delaware River. 1.5"-2" bait was plentiful. Provided we don't receive any additional rain, this coming weekend should be excellent. The river should continue to warm.

13Apr07 - I checked out the Delaware River and a favorite tributary above New Hope, PA. The water was high and discolored, but fishable. I decided not to fish, but instead scouted the water looking for shad and carp. The water appeared devoid of fish, probably a little on the cold side at approximately 46 degrees Fahrenheit.
