Delaware River Club: Upper Delaware River Report 8/3/2010

The Release is back up to 1040 this morning. The lower West Branch is still seeing good amounts of tricos during the morning hours, as well as decent numbers of flying ants and a scattering of caddis. Olives have also been producing some good surface activity late in the evening and on overcast/rainy days. Streamers in the morning, nymphing during the warmer, mid-day hours, and dry fly opportunities late. When the caddis and flying ants are active they offer good dry fly action mid-day as well.
