Delaware River Club: Upper Delaware River Report 10/14/2010

Today they are calling for rain showers the second half of the day. Water conditions are looking good lately and the fishing activity seems to be picking up, but most of the action has been subsurface with the little insect activity as of late, however with clouds in the sky today we may see a fair amount of BWO’s. Temperatures are looking good across the board, but water levels on the West Branch have dropped to where floating is not an option.  Rains predicted for the next two days will likely raise water levels to where this will not be an issue for the weekend.  Although the surface activity has been spotty, caddis have been showing up in relatively decent numbers later in the evenings and have produced more and more action as the days progress.
