Delaware River Report: August 17, 2024

We woke up to some light rain. We should see showers on and off today but the total precipitation amounts shouldn’t bump the flows. The cooler weather and rain could push some olives and Isonychias so definitively have those in your box. Nymphing has been better on the cloudy days too. Streamers could be a decent option in this weather too.

The Main Stem, Beaverkill and lower East Branch are starting to warm up again now that the levels have dropped. Bring your thermometer if you’re fishing those areas.

Today will be 75 degrees with clouds and light rain showers. Total rainfall should be .18″. Wind will be 10 – 15 mph from the South.
