Delaware River Report / Conditions August 21, 2014

There is still an unfortunate amount of the green goo plaguing the waters in Deposit, but the fish can still be caught!  Despite the several abrupt changes with the release from Cannonsville, there were still plenty of bugs and rising fish. As for the bugs, the cloudy weather and the rain brought a great deal of #18-24 olives. There were also some stenos and little sulphurs in the mix. Today looks like it should be a repeat of yesterday with some cloud cover and an evening thunderstorm. Hale Eddy is currently at 791 and the graph shows it is stable.
