Delaware River Club: Upper Delaware River Report 10/17/2010

Blue skies and mild temperatures today with a high of 63 degrees.  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. Temperatures are looking good across the board.  Rains over the past two days have raised water levels to where floating will not be an issue for the beginning of the week.  Although the surface activity has been spotty at best, caddis have been showing up in relatively decent numbers later in the evenings and have produced more and more action as the days progress.
