Delaware River Report / Conditions October 3, 2019

The releasefrom Cannonsville has been increased slightly to 648 cfs this morning.  There’s a little rain falling this morning.  We should end up with around 1/4″ today and another 1/4″ falling over night.  It’s going to be cooler wit the air temp reaching 50 degrees.  Wind from the South 5 – 10 mph.  There are some olives and a couple of isonychias on the door this morning.  Look for risers in the slower tail outs and edges on the small olives.  Nymphing or throwing streamers will probably your best bet during the day.  Most of the dry fly action has been in the afternoon.  There should be some sunshine this weekend with more much needed rain next week.
