Delaware River Report: August 19, 2022

The flow at Stilesville dropped about 50 cfs which leaves us pretty much the same as yesterday. There is wadeable water but keep the flow in mind when you’re out there. We’re still fishing a lot of #18 and #22 blue wing olives with a few sulphurs and cahills. Blind casting Isonychias and cahills has payed off for some people in between hatches. Swinging wets has brought some fish to the net too. Today will much warmer hitting 85 degrees with sun and a few clouds. Wind will be light and variable.

The East Branch at Fishs Eddy and the Beaverkill at Cooks Falls both peaked over 70 degrees yesterday. Give these sections a break until we get cooler temps.
