Delaware River Report / Conditions August 29, 2019

We had good cloud cover for most of yesterday with some brief light rain around dinner time.  The rainfall total was pretty much nothing so the river levels are pretty much the same as yesterday morning.  Most of the storms slid to the north of us.  There were some olives during the day with fish sporadically on them.  Things picked up in the evening with a few caddis, more olives, and some isonychias depending on what river section you were on.  The sun is going to break through by mid morning but the air temp should stay in the low 70’s.  Wind will be 5 – 10 from the North.
