Delaware River Club: Upper Delaware River Report July 19, 2010

Today it looks like we are going to have excellent cloud coverage throughout the day with a few scattered thunder showers in the area. Blue Wing Olives should be out in full force today along with sulphurs during the majority of the day. Last night we got some much needed rain in the area which has put a tiny bit of color in the water, giving the angler a slight advantage when it comes to not spooking the fish. The Cannonsville Reservoir is releasing 497 cfs this morning and water temperatures are looking good the entire length of the West Branch.
