Delaware River Report: August 28, 2023

The weather looks good today with decent clouds and a chance of thunderstorms. There are still a few sulphurs on the upper river sections. Olives may fill in that gap if we get some afternoon rain. Isonychias, white flies, and golden drakes are showing on some river sections towards dark. If the humidity stays high definitely have some flying ants in your box. Nymphing or swinging wets will be your best bet early.

Today will be 73 degrees with cloud cover in the morning and a chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon. Total rainfall should be .11″. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the South.
