Delaware River Report / Conditions August 28, 2019

The forecast has changed and Wunderground is predicting only.16″ of rain today.  We’ll have a warmer air temp peaking in the high 70’s, good cloud cover, and wind 5 – 10 from the South. The rain should hold off until after lunch.  Sounds like a good day to be out there.  The olives were out again yesterday evening.  Small olives, isonychias, caddis, and a few small sulphurs should round out your selection today.  But it will probably be olives fro the most part.  Mid day nymphing was definitely the best bet.  We still have weeds floating down some pools.  The weeds generally filter out in the long slow pools.
