Help for Ryan

If you’re a long-time friend of the Delaware River Club, you may know Ryan Geiges from his time guiding for us. He’s been out in Montana for a while and many of you have fished with him there as well. Ryan’s a great guide and teacher and has touched many people in the fishing community.

Recently Ryan was diagnosed with colon cancer. He has had two surgeries and is currently undergoing chemotherapy. If you feel inclined, please consider to donating to the GoFundMe that will help support him and his family while he undergoes treatment. Please keep Ryan in your thoughts and we hope that he’ll be back on the water soon.

We will be closed this weekend for a wedding.

We have a good frost on the ground this morning but it’s going to be much warmer than the last few days. Wind may still be a problem so pick your spots accordingly. There are some trees and bushes holding on to their leaves that should offer some protection. Nymphing or hrowing streamers on the West Branch will be the best bets early. Olives and hebes are still hatching in the afternoon along with some Isonychias. The caddis should be active when the wind drops.

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 57 degrees with plenty of sunshine. Wind will be 10 – 15 mph from the North.

Today looks a lot like yesterday with clouds and wind. The flows are dropping slightly as the runoff subsides. Throwing streamers on the West Branch or nymphing will be your best bets early. The olives and hebes have been hatching in the afternoon mixed with some Isonychias. Try to find a wind protected spot for the dry flies. The caddis have been more active during breaks in the wind.

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 48 degrees with clouds and a chance of a shower. Total rainfall should be negligible. Wind will be 10 – 15 mph from the North.

Delaware River Report: October 15, 2024

We had wind and periods of rain yesterday but the rivers came through fine. There were bugs on some river stretches but the wind made dry fly fishing tough in the late afternoon. Small olives and hebes in the slow foam lines made up most of what we saw. Today looks similar to yesterday but we are on a warming trend.

We had some rain storms yesterday and again overnight but most of it soaked into the ground. Oquaga Creek leveled out at 32 cfs so the West flow didn’t bump much. The biggest bump was the Beaverkill of 100 cfs so everything should be in good shape today. We needed that rain and could use more. We have cloud cover and may get a few minor showers. The wind at 10 – 20 out of the West will dictate the fishing today. If you can find some sheltered places you should see the olives and hebes mid afternoon along with a few Isonychias and cahills. If you’re fighting the wind all day nymphing and streamers will be your best bets.

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.

We could be in for a good day with the cloud cover and rain. Olives, hebes, and Isonychias have been better on the overcast days. Streamers and nymphs will still be the best bets early.

It’s another cool morning with frost on the windshields in the higher elevations. it’ll take a little while to warm up today. The weather should be the same as yesterday but with more wind so it’s the same program. Nymphs or streamers in the morning with the hatches coming later in the afternoon. The olives and hebes are still making up most of the bugs but we’ve seen an increase in the Isonychias this week. The hourly forecast has the wind dropping a bit in the afternoon.

We’ll be back in the 60’s today with less wind than yesterday. The fishing should be the same with nymphing or throwing streamers early being the best bets. The olives and hebes should hatch mid afternoon offering some dry fly fishing. We had some isonychias and cahills mixed in yesterday so we should see that again. The wind made the dry fly fishing tough yesterday but fish were landed.

Today is going to much cooler with the air temp peaking at 52 degrees. We’ll have sun poking through the clouds but it’s going to take a while to warm up. Nymphing or streamers are still the bet bets early in the day. The olives and hebes should hatch a little later in the afternoon. Some river sections are seeing better Isonychias and cahills so don’t hesitate to chance locations if you’re not seeing much in the afternoon.

We’re coming off another cold morning but not much fog. This morning’s rain showers shouldn’t drop a measurable amount of water. The fishing should be the same so streamers or nymphs early with olives and hebes hatching in the afternoon. Isonychias and cahills in the riffles. If you’re seeing bugs and no rising fish swing wets or move to a different section.

It was 40 degrees at 6 am so it’s going to take a bit of time to warm up today. We do have thick fog again in places but that should burn off in the next hour. It’s another day when streamers could pay off before the sun hits the water. Nymphing will probably be the best bet by mid morning but some river sections are seeing enough Isonychias it could be worth blind casting dries. The olives and hebes should hatch late afternoon.
