Delaware River Report / Conditions November 3, 2017

There were some olives and a few isonychia spinners out towards dark but most of our fish came on caddis.  Today should be a lot like yesterday with warm air temperatures and maybe a brief shower or two.  There may be a little more wind but hopefully the gusts are spread out like yesterday.  The rain totals look negligible.  If the long term forecast is correct we’re looking at a nice weekend.  For November it seems like a great weekend.  Nymph or swing wets until the fish start rising.  We didn’t find a lot of consistent fish  but if you could mark them most would eat the caddis.
