Delaware River Report: September 20, 2024

We’re on a cooling trend over the next few days but today will be a lot like yesterday with sun and clouds. The weather has been pretty consistent so the fishing has been the same. streamers in the early morning before the fog burns off could pay off. Once the sun hits the water nymphing will be the best bet. There have been fish eating olives in the sun so keep an eye out early but the majority of the hatching has been in the late afternoon. Olives have been the strongest hatch but there are some hebes, cahills, and Isonychias.

Today will be 79 degrees with a mix of sun and clouds. Wind will be light and variable.

What’s Hatching:
Dark Blue Wing Olive – #16 – 18 – Baetis spp.
Slate Drake – #12 – 14 – Isonychia bicolor
