Delaware River Report / Conditions October 24, 2015

The West Branch release was micro adjusted down to 859 cfs this morning so there won’t be much of a noticeable change on the system from yesterday.  The forecast is calling for air temperatures in the 50’d with some rain moving in overnight.  We may end up with a little over 1/4″ of precipitation by morning but it shouldn’t begin until after dark.  We’ve been dry for a while so most of that will soak into the ground.  Small olives are still the main hatch with some caddis and just a few isonychias in the mix.

 

Hatching:
Slate Drake #14 – Isonychia bicolor
Olive Sulphur #18 – 20 – Heptagenia hebe
Light Cahills #14 – various steno species (invaria, etc)
Tiny Blue Wing Olives #22-26 – Pseudo sp. (now classified as Acentrella sp.)
Charcoal Caddis #14 -16 – dark Brachycentrus sp.
Tan Caddis #16-18 – Hydrosyche sp.
Blue Winged Olives #16 – 18 – Baetis sp.
