Delaware River Club: Upper Delaware River Report 8/13/10

Today’s weather forecast is calling for partly cloudy skies and a high of 78 degrees. Yesterday’s overcast/rainy weather had the West Branch fishing really well.  Streamers produced most of the action, but good hatches of small Olives brought some fish to the surface as well.  The Upper Main fished decent according to some reports and not so well from others…conditions are good so it is at least worth a look.  As of today, the water levels have dropped slightly due to the cutting back of the release.
