Delaware River Report / Conditions September 16, 2019

The flow at Stilesville is steady at 719 cfs this morning.  We have a 50% chance of some rain this morning  but the amount should be negligible.  We may have some fog moving in and out until the rain clears out.  We should see 70 degrees with wind 5 -10 from the North.  The sun will break through a little and mix with cloud cover in the afternoon.  This is a nice change after the sunshine yesterday.  Olive sulphurs, isos, caddis, and olives will cover most of what you’ll see.  Definitely have flying ants, cahills, white flies, and yellow sallies just in case.  The bugs came a little later yesterday due to the sunshine but overall it fished well we found some nice fish.
