It’s Bug Week on the upper Delaware

Recommended Posts

The action on the upper Delaware had been very slow the last two weeks. That finally all changed on Saturday when the lower East, West and upper mainstem broke out with multiple hatches all day long including the heaviest brown drake hatch I’ve ever experienced. The fish were looking up some, but not easy to fool on dry flies. With the heavy rain and cold temps, we watched millions of BWOs in two sizes, green and brown drakes, Dorothea, Invaria and light Cahills for Sulphurs, March Browns, Isonychia, and various caddis including egg layers on the surface all day.

The wild bows of the Delaware need some love too!  My buddy Fredy with a solid rainbow.

I was just about to ask about the Bows. I don’t fish the main stem much anymore, but when I did back in the 80-90’s we caught way more bows than browns. All beautiful fish though.
