Delaware River Club: Upper Delaware River Report September 21, 2010

Today looks like it is going to be another sunny one, the forecast calls for highs in the low 70’s. Last night we saw temperatures in the low 40’s, these low overnight temperatures have created ideas water temps for trout on all three river systems. The East Branch this morning was running a cool 57 at Fishs Eddy. Reports of rising fish on a good numbers of pseudo have been coming in for several days now from the East Branch. The Main Stem and West Branch have also had their fair share of small pseudo in addition to several caddis. When fishing caddis try giving it a little twitch instead of a dead drift as some fish key in on a little movement.
