Delaware River Report / Conditions September 27, 2019

We had some light rain most of yesterday morning giving way to clouds with a bit of sun.  The rain bumped up the flows on the freestones slightly, very slightly and they are dropping back this morning.  The olive hatch seemed better yesterday than we’ve seen in a few days plus we had heptagenia, isonychias, and isonychia spinners on the water in the evening.  Most of the yellow sallies we saw were in the air but the fish will eat them.  The release from Cannonsville is 792 cfs this morning.  The sun will burn the fog off mid morning and then we should hit 72 degrees with wind 5 – 10 mph from the South.
