Delaware River Report: September 19, 2024

The rivers will be foggy this morning but it should burn off in the next hour or two. We should be left with some clouds for the rest of the day. Small streamers could be good before the sun hits the water. Once the fog burns off we’ll be back to the normal program of nymphing early with the hatches coming later in the afternoon. Some people are still finding a few fish mid day on small olives. Blind casting cahills and Isonychias in the riffles is always an option. We’re getting later in September but don’t leave the flying ants at home yet.

Today will be 82 degrees and partly cloudy this afternoon. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the North.
