Delaware River Report / Conditions August 18, 2021

Most of the storms missed us and the rivers are in the same shape they were in yesterday morning.  We still have a small stream flash flood warning this morning but that should end soon.  So far we just have decent cloud cover.  We may see some showers today with a high of 78 degrees.  Wind will be 5 – 10 from the South.  We had good olive hatches yesterday with the weather.  It should fish the same today.  Olives from #18 – 24 were on the water plus some light cahills and Isonychias.
