SEMATU September members meeting.

Seasons on the Delaware will address the where, what, and when of the fishery and reveal some of the subtle secrets of this notoriously challenging system. We will explore Spring trout and legendary hatches like the Hendricksons, Caddis, Golden Stones and Drakes. Next up is the shift into summer, dominated by sulfurs. Late Summer sees warmwater action explode and then caddis, Isos and olives are the centers of Autumn dry fly attention. Prime opportunities are discussed for fishing streamers for both trout and warmwater species. Shad fishing opportunities and the lesser-known mass exodus of juveniles are discussed. Woven throughout the presentation is the history of the system, the character of the river and essential and proven techniques and flies for one of the greatest freshwater fisheries in the lower 48 states.
