I awakened this morning to find that, as expected, NYC has waited until the last minute to begin dumping water from the Delaware reservoirs. Flows and temperatures are changing, and the fish will need a moment to adapt. This evening, I will meet Dr. Peer Doering-Arges upon his arrival from Berlin, Germany to discuss our fishing, which is to begin tomorrow. I am scrambling to figure out just where and how we will fish under these drastically altered conditions.
The topsy turvy summer of 2024 marches on, and I am wondering if the drift boat is the answer. I have not floated since April, so I am left flat-footed. There may be some flies in the afternoons, but I am left with no chance to go find them. Peer had said he was looking forward to this adventure. It may be more of one than expected!
