The releases from Cannonsville and Pepacton have been cut back. The West Branch release is 896 cfs. Both reservoirs have stopped spilling. This opens up more wade opportunities and is still good for floating. The wind made yesterday difficult. The hatches seemed to be predominately apple and tan caddis. We’re coming off a cold night but will have sunshine and 56 degrees. The water temps should come up in the afternoon and push some hatches. We are still seeing hendricksons, blue quills, and olives mixed with the caddis. Plus a few Quill Gordons. Wind won’t be an issue today.
Today will be 56 degrees with sunshine. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the North.
Our friend Diane is raising money for one of our favorite events Paint the Delaware Pink — which we host here at the DRC each September. Please consider donating and supporting an amazing program that uses fly fishing as a recovery tool for breast cancer.
