The Delaware River Club: Upper Delaware River Report 9/25/10

Today looks like it will be slightly breezy off and on throughout the day with partly cloudy skies, giving away to more sun later in the afternoon.  The release was increased and the river has come up a few hundred CFS, which a lot of times, will encourage a good streamer bite.  Use caution and choose your spots wisely if wading.  Olives and Caddis have been the most active as of late, but isolated hatches and spinner falls of fall Isonychia have produced good action at times.
