Delaware River Report / Conditions September 12, 2020

The cool nights have helped the water temps throughout the system.  It’s 47 degrees this morning and we’ll only hit 70 this afternoon.  Mostly sun with a few clouds and wind 7 mph from the South.  A nice day to be on the river.  The small olives are out along with some heptagenia, caddis, and a few isonychias.  Despite the cooler weather keep some flying ants in your box too.  The cooler weather will stick around for the next few days which is good news for the rivers and hatches.
