Delaware River Report / Conditions September 4, 2011

Fog fog and more fog! With a strong bit of humidity falling over the region yesterday, the river was completely fogged in by almost 6:30 PM last night – putting a bit of a damper on the evening fishing. The cloud cover earlier in the day yielded some decent olive and steno activity, but when the sun came out mid-afternoon, the river did shut down for a little bit. We are expecting a partly-cloudy day today, with some thunderstorms floating around. Basically, back to ‘normal’ summer conditions with likely some decent hatching in-between the breaks of sun!
