Delaware River Report / Conditions September 15, 2019

The release from Cannonsville has been decreased a bit to 678 cfs.  We had some rain yesterday morning and again overnight.  It wasn’t enough precipitation to change the flows much but it did bring in some fog on the river.  We saw good olive hatches yesterday mixed with some flying ants.  There are still some isonychias and yellow sallies out there too.  If you are fishing the Mainstem have your white flies ready for the evening.  We’re going to be a little warmer today with the air temp hitting 75 degrees.  Wind will not be a factor with a mix of sun and clouds.
