Delaware River Report / Conditions September 3, 2019

We had quite a bit of rain come down yesterday morning but most of it seemed to get soaked in to the ground. The rain stopped around lunch time and while the clouds came in and out during the afternoon the rest of the storms slid around us.  The rivers are up a little this morning but look fine and are fishable and and at a decent level for floating and wading.  The West Branch flow is dropping back slowly as the runoff subsides.  Today should be partly cloudy, 77 degrees wit wind 5 mph from the South.  Olives, isonychias, caddis, and maybe a few cahills should cover you today.  We have seen a few flying ants around but have not seen a large fall on the river yet.
