The upper delaware river

We've been taking camping trips up here since I was just a little guy. We usually do 2 trips on the river in canoes/kayaks between Lordville and Hankins. Depending on where we are staying maybe we'll do Long Eddy - Callicoon or Hankins - Callicoon or maybe Hancock - Long Eddy. Anyway this year I plan to focus more on fishing and less on drinking, grilling and swimming. I've really only used either live stuff like leeches and helgramites or maybe some red shad powerbaits and the occasional floating rapala. Does anyone on here have any experience in this region of the river? We'll be there from july 10-13th so the water theoretically should be in the high 70s but it has been much colder some years. Also it tends to be very low around then unless they happened to have open the dams.
