Delaware River Report / Conditions August 1, 2017

The sun was bright yesterday.  Really, really bright.  And hot.  The upper West Branch and the upper East Branch were the places to be.  You’ll find sulphurs, olives, cahills, and a few Isonychias up there.  Use your thermomter and concentrate on the water in the 50’s.  Today looks like a better day with some clouds and cooler air temperatures.  We may see some showers in the afternoon if the thunderstorms hit us.  Most of the weather still seems to slide north of us though.  Winds look good at 5 – 7 mph.
