Delaware River Club: Upper Delaware river Report 8/11/2010

It looks like we are going to have a nice overcast day today. Water temperatures are still looking great throughout the entire West Branch and into the Upper Main Stem. Sulphers have been sporadic lately. Olives have probably been the most consistent as far as good hatches, and occasional Isonychias, Golden Drakes, and Cahills will float by and are often eaten.  Streamers have produced the best action with the higher water levels and terrestrial patterns have also been reasonably effective when casted at the banks.
