Delaware River Club: Upper Delaware River Report 9/1/2010

It looks like today is going to be another sunny day. Main Stem water temperatures have been on the rise over the past few days and are getting to the point where you will want to stay off of it unless you are planning on targeting bass. BWO’s, iso’s and pseudo have been making up the majority of the dry fly action on the entire system; keep an eye out for flying ants throughout the day. If the sun keeps fish from rising today, try nymphing them up as this can be very productive on sunny days.
