Delaware River Report / Conditions September 12, 2021

The release from Cannonsville remains around 900 cfs this morning.  There is a tint in the water likely form the release.  It is not enough to affect the fishing.  We should have cloud cover this afternoon with a chance of a little rain overnight.  The amount of precip should be negligible.  Streamers early and then nymphs or wet flies until the bugs come.  We’re mostly seeing olives with a few size #18 and a lot of #22 – 24 Pseudos.  We still have some flying ants on the water.  You will see an odd Isonychia and cahill and the fish will still eat them.
