Delaware River Report / Conditions August 31, 2016

There were a few clouds around yesterday afternoon but we did have our share of sun.  There were enough olives, small sulphurs, cahills, and flying ants to get some fish rising.  Flying ants have become very important over the last few days so definitely carry some in #18 – 22.  There have been some tricos in the morning.  If you see good numbers of them on the water and no fish move to another spot.  We are finding them eating in some pools and not others.  The weather looks great today with good cloud cover with a chance of light rain or storms.  Winds will be low around 6 mph.  It looks like the best chance of rain is overnight but the forecast is for negligible amounts.  We already have the clouds this morning so things are looking good for a decent olive hatch.
