Upper Delaware River Report — July 12,2010

Today we should expect to have another warm day with the high in the upper 80’s.  However the warm air temps haven’t seemed to be affecting the conditions on the Upper Delaware.  With water temps in the high 40’s to low 50’s this morning the Upper Delaware should fish just as good as it has been in the past few days.  Cannonsville is still releasing 325 cfs, so floating will still be difficult, so if you’re out wading look for a cool spot in the shade to escape the sun during mid day.  Look for Olives, Sulphurs, Isos and Caddis out on the water.  If you make it out early enough, you could get some Tricos in the mix.
