Delaware River Report / Conditions August 18, 2020

Yesterday was a pleasant one.  We had good cloud cover most of the afternoon.  We started to see a bit more sunshine around dinnertime.  There were quite a number of psuedos on the water last night along with some bigger olives, a few isonychias, and a few cahills.  The cooler water temps really help the bugs and the fish.  Today looks similar to yesterday with a bit more sun.  77 degrees and wind 5 – 10 from the North.
