It's definitely going to be high and muddy not like normal summer fishing you probably won't even want helgramites. They were projecting 11 foot at Belvidere which is unsafe but now down to 8. For bass I would be throwing spinnerbaits and jerkbaits with the minimal clarity you will have.

The river is already pretty much muddy brown and currently 66 degrees and flowing at 6.93 ft in Belvidere. It’s forecasted to only go up to 7.2 ft. midday Friday and the 30some years experience I have fishing the river that’s definitely go time for me

Re: hellagramites
 

If getting them is a problem, had you ever thought of an imitation such as a fly?
Just a thought.

All went well this past week on the Delaware. Fished Monday - Wednesday and did well catching smallies using crayfish. The river is dropping every day , this week should be even better. Wedneday night they were hitting hard.

Re: hellagramites
 

How were you fishing the crayfish? Under a float or free drifting with a split shot?
