Delaware River Report / Conditions October 24, 2021

Yesterday was one of those rare days with good cloud cover, a little spit of occasional rain, and light wind.  So it was a really good olive day on some river sections.  There were a few Isonychias and Heptagenias but most dry fly fish were landed on olives.  Streamers and nymphs worked earlier in the day for some people.  The releases haven’t changed so the rivers are in the same shape they were yesterday. The weather looks similar except a bit more wind.  There may be a stray rain shower but we shouldn’t see steady rain until night.  Total rainfall tonight may be 1/2″.  It looks like a wet week in the 10 day forecast so keep an eye on the gauges below for the latest flow data.
