Delaware River Report: October 2, 2024

Today looks like a good day to be on the water. We should have cloud cover and a chance of rain showers. The total rainfall should be negligible. Hopefully we get a little rain or at least some heavy mist. The rivers have been fishing well on days like this with decent olives, hebes, and a few Isonychias and cahills. The hatches have been sporadic on some stretches so if your not seeing bugs in the afternoon it may be worth moving around.

Cannonsville is turning over so the West Branch has that green tint we get most Falls. It doesn’t bother the fish or the bugs.

Today will be 59 degrees with a few showers this morning and overcast skies in the afternoon. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the South.

Dark Blue Wing Olive – #16 – 18 – Baetis spp.
