Fishing the sulfurs requires a flashlight with new batteries.

 It's Monday and I'm back on the river.  It now appears unlikely that I'm going to spend a lot of time this year  revisiting the rivers I fished before I "discovered" the Delaware.  Why? The fishing here is just too GDG.  You can sleep as late as you want, tie flies all afternoon, eat dinner and at about 7:00 pm don your waders,  mosey out into a quiet pool on the WB and catch fish after fish. It's just that easy. 

After last Fridays experience at the Hale Eddy Bridge I drove back tonight with hopes of wading a little farther down stream.  Counted at least 12 people in the water below the bridge at about 7:00 pm.  Hopefully they weren't there because of my report. Most of the people seemed to be standing in pairs which would indicate some kind of a group getting individual instruction. Drove by and never stopped until I found an unoccupied pool. Waded in and for a while all I saw were a few sulfurs on the water and no risers. Was starting to wonder if it was going to happen, when, it did. Seemingly every night for the past ten days the sulfurs have hatched big time after most of the fishermen have left the stream. Talked to a fisherman today who said there's just no bugs, stayed until 7:30 without seeing a rise. Stay late, look for the roofs of mouths (not boils) and make your cast count. The number and size of the fish that appear is amazing. Catching them - is up to you.

Sorted through the comments and found a few unanswered questions. 

Dennis - GHOF is my Gray Haired Old Friend who is a tad more knowledgeable than I about vision questions. 

Jim N. and ED S. - The dorotheas normally settle into an early afternoon hatching routine in the Sulfur Zone by the first of July. Right now there are still the big sulfurs (invaria) above Deposit while the small sulfurs (Dorothea) are now well above Hale Eddy. The afternoon Dorothea hatch, however, has yet to materialize,  where I've been, it's a 7:00 'til dark thing (don't even think of asking why). Hopefully this week the bugs will get into their summer routine.

Chris Z. - You asked for more info on the rattlesnakes.  They are protected in New York. The time when I am most likely to encounter them is in the couple of hours after sunset when they are absorbing heat from a  paved road or from the still hot metal rails on the train tracks.  The Timber rattler is quite docile and is seemingly unaware of the danger posed by cars on the road. They are not aggressive and  will retreat if given the opportunity. The greatest danger is walking into, or in my case, falling onto one unexpectedly. Over the years I've taken numerous pictures of timber rattlers (mostly from car windows) and have found it difficult to get them to coil up in attack mode. Best advice - pay attention to where you are walking, treat the snake with respect and  give them a wide berth when you have an encounter.

All my life's a circle.

  Headed down to the Lordville Estate about nine this morning after watching a nice buck decide  not to tend the scrape I was perched above. Drove through Deposit where the Troutfitter Shop was dark and closed for the season. My fishing equipment did not make the trip. Had far too many things to do in the few hours of daylight we are currently being allotted. The doe with two fawns was in the backyard when I arrived and was joined by the orphaned button buck who spends his time either bedded down in my flower garden or walking around under the peach trees looking for the peaches he grew so fond of in September. Arrived with a trailer full of wood hitched to Jean's car (it has the trailer hitch) and spent the first hour replenishing the wood I burned this season. As if by magic both wood piles topped out just below the garage windows. Was interrupted by the button buck who walked up between the house and the garage and stood watching the wood stacking operation. A river friend and f

IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK HOME AGAIN!

 It's Wednesday night, a fire is going in the fire place, an empty Perfect Manhattan glass is washed and back up on the shelf, 30 shrimp netted from Zane Gray Creek ((did you know that Zane Gray (famous fly fisherman and writer of westerns) was a dentist and that his office is now a museum that you can visit on the Delaware River?)), have been consumed by Jean and me, prior to the three pieces of venison backstrap that traveled from home to Florida and back, an early spring snowstorm is raging outside and most importantly, we're glad to be back home again! With that season opening sentence, Mrs. Haskins has no doubt thrown in the towel and disavowed all responsibility for my literary malfunctions. Run on sentences she could handle, but my never before attempted "double aside" was apparently beyond the pall. I sent her a "Go Duke" banner with apologies and hopefully she will cool off before the fishing heats up. Our trip back home was uneventful. Started at 2

A rational explanation escapes me.

 Yesterday after driving up and down the "Sulfur Zone" in the afternoon without seeing bugs or rising fish, I headed back to Lordville without even putting my waders on. Headed out again at 6:00, got into the river around 6:30 and had two hours of delightful dry fly fishing to medium sized fish eating duns in a good sulfur hatch. Today, I made the trip up to deposit at about 1:30 figuring the cloud cover would delay the hatch (if any), it did, but by 2:30 the afternoon sulfurs were going and the fish were up and on them. Enjoyed about two hours of good fishing with four decent fish hooked and landed, two yearlings landed and a passel of refusals. About 4:30 the rise forms changed to boils and my fly was ignored. Tried half a dozen flies without so much as a look from the still feeding fish. Was happy with the afternoon fishing, (a big step up from Sunday), and at 5:00 it was too late to drive all the way back to Lordville. Decided to get something at Wendy's (calorie capi
