Delaware River Report / Conditions August 1, 2021

Yesterday turned out to a beautiful day if not a little too sunny.  If you’re looking for dry fly activity on the sunny days move up towards the dam where the water is coldest.  The mid day sulphurs are still there along with olives and a few Isonychias.  The lower river has been day to day but decent on rainy days. Wunderground is calling for a 90% chance of rain today.  It looks like scattered thunderstorms so we may see between 1/4″ and 1/2″ of rain.  Maybe.  75 degrees with wind 5 – 10 mph from the North.
