Delaware River Report / Conditions September 1, 2018

The release from Cannonsville has been dropped slightly to 1,407 cfs.  We did have a little rain overnight so some of the flows bumped slightly but it won’t really be noticeable on the river.  We had good cloud cover yesterday with some scattered showers around the area.  Olives, isonychias, and cahills were still our go to flies.  We found rising fish plus fish that were willing to eat isos and cahills blind casted in the riffles and seams.

Today looks like another good fishing day.  Clouds, winds around 7 mph from the south, and a high of 73 degrees.
