Delaware River Report: October 11, 2022
Yesterday was a mix of clouds and sun. There were fish eating olives in the slow pools by mid afternoon. That’s pretty much what we’ve been seeing everyday along with some Isonychias and caddis. The caddis are thick in the bushes so they will hit the water in good numbers eventually. We have thick fog this morning but that should burn off quickly. We’ll hit 68 degrees with a partly cloudy sky. wind 5 – 10 mph from the South.

The wind didn’t help yesterday but people did find some fish eating olives in the afternoon. There were also some Isonychias and Heptagenia mixed in but again small olives made up most of the hatch. The weather looks a little better today with cloud cover and wind 5 – 10 mph from the West. We’ll be warmer tan yesterday hitting 60 degrees. We may see a brief rain shower but total rainfall will be negligible. Given the weather if things stay the same we should see some olives by 2 pm.

Delaware River Report: October 9, 2022
Yesterday was cold and windy with a decent afternoon olive hatch. The fish were eating despite the weather. Almost every day were seeing a decent number of #18 – 24 olives so definitely look for risers from 2 pm on. Last night was cold (34 degrees) and dropped the water temps a few degrees so that may push the timing off a little bit. We’ll warm up to 56 degrees with a mix of sun and clouds. Wind will be 10 – 15 mph from the West.

Slate Drake – 12- 14- Isonychia bicolor

There’s some light rain falling again this morning but o far it hasn’t been enough to affect the flows. We should clear up in the afternoon and be left with partial cloud cover. It definitely looks like a blue wing olive day but we’re still seeing a few cahills and Isonychias. Nymphing may your best shot early in the day. We’ll be cooler hitting 52 degrees with wind 10 – 15 from the North.

We had a little rain overnight but not enough to affect the river flows. We have a light most and heavy fog right now that should burn off in the next hour. Yesterday afternoon was decent with small olives with a few Isonychias mixed in. There are still a lot of caddis in the bushes so they will be on the water at some point. But fall mostly means olives. Today will be a mix of clouds and sun with the air temp hitting 63 degrees. Wind will be 10 – 15 mph from the North.

Delaware River Report: October 6, 2022
The river flows are dropping this morning and the West branch looks good out front. There’s still a good amount of water in the feeder streams but they should be dropping throughout the day. There is a slight tint on the lower West Branch but it is definitely fishable. Yesterday looked like a streamer day but we’re sure some people found fish rising in the slow tailouts. Today will be much warmer hitting 73 degrees, sunny, with no wind. Small olives, Heptagenia, caddis, and a few Isonychias should cover most of what you see.

It rained off and on for most of yesterday with more falling overnight into this morning. The river flows are climbing and the feeder streams are definitely adding some water. The the river out front is off color so this may be a streamer day. Click on the river links below for the latest flow data. There were a lot of tiny olives on the water yesterday mixed with some Heptagenia and the oddball Isonychia. The fish were on the olives but the ones in the moving water were a little friendlier to bigger flies. The rain should stop early this afternoon. We’ll see 65 degrees with wind 5 – 10 mph from the North.

We woke up to some rain this morning. Total for the day should be around 1/2″. Some of that should soak into the ground and the feeder streams are relatively low so we shouldn’t see a huge affect today. If anything changes dramatically we’ll do a mid day update. The rivers are still low but people are wading and even floating some sections. We had decent olives mixed with a few Heptagenias yesterday afternoon and did have fish rising. Today looks like a good olive day with the air temp hitting 54 degrees and rain. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the North.

The flow at Stilesville is still very low at 106 cfs. It is okay for wading but floating is out of the question. River temps are in good shape due to the cooler weather. Most people nymphed yesterday but there were a few dry fly shots with small olives and Heptagenia. Running a dry dropper with an Isonychia could also be a good move today. We have good cloud cover but should not see any rain today. Wind will be a lot less today at 5 – 10 mph from the North.

The release from Cannonsville has been cut back and the flow at Stilesville is 110 cfs this morning. Not ideal. Water temps are fine and wading is the best option. Yesterday had some flushes of olives mixed with some Heptagenias. We did see a few Isonychias in the late afternoon. We’ll have clouds today with the air temp hitting 60 degrees. Wind will be 10 – 15 mph from the North. There is a very, very slight chance of rain.

Today looks like a great day to be on the water. We have some light rain falling that should total just over 1/10″. We have good cloud cover and light and variable wind. Hopefully that pushes the hatches a little earlier in the day. Small olives, Heptagenia, and a few Isonychias should cover most of the bases. Yesterday was similar with a bit more sun. Nymphing worked well early with the dry fly shots coming later in the day.

We’re coming off a cold night but we should begin to warm into the 60’s today. The wind was tough early yesterday but it did drop in the afternoon. Fall is definitely here so it’s still a lot of small blue wing olives, Heptagenia, some Cahills, and Isonychias. There are definitely caddis on the bushes so they’ll be on the water at some point. Wundergound is calling for light and variable wind today which is certainly an improvement. We’ll see a little sun but mostly cloud cover with a high of 64 degrees.
