Delaware River Club: Upper Delaware River Report 9-12-2010

Today they are calling for a high of 61 with rain showers for most of the day. Overnight temperatures have allowed the water temperatures to remain cool throughout the West Branch as well as the Main Stem as far down as Lordville. The release from Cannonsville this morning is 907 cfs. The West Branch and the Main Stem are both still off color due to the reservoir turning over. Today looks like streamers may be the best option; we have been having the best luck with black streamers as it seems to stick out in this water clarity. Mayfly action today may consist of BWO’s, iso’s, and pseudo’s, in addition to mayflies, keep an eye out for caddis as they are starting to show up in good numbers once again.
