I've fished the D from around Milford all the way down to Hancock in my lifetime. I'd say a few things.
1. Big dries on the banks. Hoppers and Ants. But be ready to nymph if you really want to catch anything up there.
2. Skip it altogether and fish the lackawaxen. The good part is probably a 20 minute drive from the Barryville bridge and its a much better and more wadeable river.
3. Drink at Cedar Rapids Inn. Hopefully it will be toga night.

Just got back from a trip to the West Branch near Hancock, NY. Had a great time and landed some really nice fish. My #1 recommendation is to make sure you focus on getting a "drag free drift." Those fish really pay attention and if you aren't mending and paying attention to the drift the fishing is tough. Number #2 recommendation is to fish the last hour of daylight in a pool or other likely spot. We had hard fishing during the day, but all of the fish came out in the evening for the spinner fall. Was amazing how many people didn't even come out for that time of evening when it was the most productive!
Good luck and have fun!
