With temps hitting almost 90 it's just better for the fish, and the anglers, to hit it on the third shift or at first light. Checking the waters temps currently it shows our first crest over 70 degrees. Of course it's cooler in the faster and broken water.
Delaware Joe and I started in the dark upriver after putting in at my ramp as part of the Titusville Boat and Ski Club which I joined last year. That gave us a shot way upriver at water that Joe has fished over the years.
It took a little bit but we found them chasing herring around. The nice part of this beat is its non-tidal, so it is what it is. There's still current but not the dropping tides. Most of the action came on topwater and I threw and threw but only landed one on a large herring fly. Joe, well Delaware Joe was
on top of the world with this beautiful fish that blew up on top. Most of the fish made it to the tank for some rehab but the little guys were caught close and didn't put up much of a fight so they were good to go.
I do love these fish. They are just great fly rod fish in every way. We were off by 730 am so I could make it to work on time as this week is packed full of nursing department meetings. We'll see how the week plays out, hopefully some good rain is in the mix as the river is now down below 10,000 cfs.
