Delaware River Report: August 20, 2022

They did some minor adjustments to the Cannonsville release yesterday afternoon but we are essentially starting this morning off the same as yesterday morning. People are wading and floating at this level. Yesterday fished well with olives, some cahills, small sulphurs, and Isonychias. People also did well on terrestrials. We’ll start off with sunshine today but should see some clouds move in during the afternoon. There is a 30% chance of thunderstorms but the rainfall looks negligible at .09″. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the South.

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.
