Delaware River Report / Conditions September 6, 2011

*note – sorry for the late post, blog did not want to publish this morning for some reason*

Slow but steady the wet stuff keeps coming down from the skies. Although it appears that the East Branch took the brunt of the rain last night, the West Branch did come up slightly, but remains pretty clear. We had lots of insect activity yesterday, and with the rain I would plan on seeing plenty of olives on the water for sure. Stay tuned and feel free to call for the latest on the weather and its affect on the river.
