Delaware River Report / Conditions September 10, 2021

Yesterday’s cloud cover helped push the bugs and we did see Pseudos earlier in the afternoon.  Towards dark there were some Heptagenias and flying ants mixed in as well.  It was a good evening of dry fly fishing.  Before the evening it was spottier on top so most people nymphed or were swinging wets.  There were a few spots they were eating on top early so if you see bugs and no fish eating don’t be afraid to move.  Today will be 68 degrees with more sunshine. wind 10 – 15 mph from the North.
