I was on the West Branch of the Delaware River the past few days and with the reservoir releases, the water was a cool 47 degrees. Even with the waders on, I was getting the shivers here and there. Good catching Bogtrotter.
We did well, timed it right and between my son and me, we landed about 20 fish per day keeping in mind most of our fishing was timed with the hatches (2pm to dusk). All our fish came on dry flies.I'll post some pics on another thread later. Had the grandkids last night and they are up and ready to rumble this morning.
I tend to grab my waders when stream fishing for other reasons outside of getting wet/cold too. Wearing waders help prevent getting poison ivy and also helps keep ticks off you on the walk into the stream. I have to do some bushwacking to get into some spots so I'll deal with the waders to cut down on the number of bug bites and ticks I end up having to deal with.
