Delaware River Report / Conditions October 7, 2016

The Cannonsville release has been increased to 320 cfs this morning until further notice – or no notice and we find out by checking the USGS site every two hours.  So the yo yo continues.  Yesterday seemed to be a day of caddis pupa with most fish either landed by swinging wet flies or nymphing.  There were a couple of fish landed on dry flies but the people fishing underneath had better success.  Today looks like a mirror image of yesterday.  Saturday is our best chance of clouds and light rain with precipitation of less than 1/4″.  Our release for the weekend will be totally dependent on what they do with Lake Wallenpaupack.  We’ll put up an update if we find anything out.
