Delaware River Report / Conditions September 28, 2019

And we’re up again.  The release from Cannonsville has been increased to  1,215 cfs.  The best wading will be on the East Branch and Mainstem.  We should have some cloud cover today with a few storms rolling through.  Total rainfall should be less than 1/10″ during the day.  Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the South although we may get a few heavy gusts when the front pushes in.  Overall it sounds better than bright sunshine.  Olives, heptagenia, and isonychias seemed the be the flies yesterday.  The high will be 82 degrees today so hopefully that brings out the isonychia spinners in force at dark.
