Good Afternoon All!!

Greetings to all of you, as I continue my visit with my family in Bethany Beach, Delaware! Keeping in touch with all my fishing resources, here we go with today’s report. 423 cfs below Cheesman Dam, with 409 cfs in Decker’s/Trumbull.  Be sure to check out the USGS graph that’s automatically updated and visible each day on the blog.  Light winds with the chance of a passing shower this evening is all the rain we have on tap for the weekend!  Looks like were wrapping up the latest round of moss that was dislodged last week with the fluctuation in river flows, but still be vigilant about cleaning your flies, as you’ll throwing Moss Balls, instead of an enticing meal for a hungry trout!  There are a number of reasons to fish Decker’s this time of year.  The crowds are gone, the campgrounds and cabins have room, and the fish are starving!! Just kidding, hungry I’m sure, but starving? probably not. Although at times, I do feel as if the fish are truly on a hunger strike.  The reality of that situation can only really mean one thing, presentation! presentation! presentation! By this time in the season, especially in the areas near the Decker’s bridge and upstream, the fish see pretty much every false presentation that could possibly be thrown, leading to a well educated fish population that demands a good drift and a solid hook set. Another great reason to visit the Decker’s area would be for the burritos and the soft serve ice-cream at the Decker’s Corner Cafe. Please visit them at http://www.deckerscorner.com.  Decker’s Corner Cafe also offers a full bar, specialty coffee drinks, plus a full menu with pizza, burritos, tacos, and excellent burgers! Well, that’s all for now folks. Until tomorrow, have a great evening and I hope to see you on the river soon!
