Delaware River Report / Conditions September 26, 2019

The release from Cannonsville has been dropped slightly to 791 cfs.  There’s a lot of micro release adjustment going on for the Montague flow target.  Today looks like a good weather day for fishing.  We have an 80% chance of afternoon showers with only .18″ of rainfall.  We should have clouds, a high of 66 degrees, and wind 5 – 10 mph from the South.  Hopefully that pushes the olive hatches a little earlier in the day.  Otherwise nymphing and streaming fishing have been producing some fish.  Blind casting isonychias in the riffles has also produced some fish lately.
