The Delaware River Club: Upper Delaware River Report 9/27/10

Weather wise, the next couple of days should have good fishing conditions.  We will get some rain today and then have some thunderstorms rolling in tomorrow, with moderate air temperatures.  It will be interesting to see how the river fishes, for it has dropped pretty substantially with today’s “cut-back” in the release, which has the river at a level where you can no longer float it in a drift boat.  Water temperatures are relatively decent and the visibility remains limited on the West Branch and Main Stem.  Keep an eye on the flow and temperature gauges because there has been major fluctuations in the releases as of late.
