Delaware River Report / Conditions August 30, 2021

The reports from yesterday seem to be a mix.  The river looked good on paper but some areas produced while other areas did not.  The areas that produced were mostly a mix of different blue wing olives with a few Isonychias and cahills thrown in.  Nymphing and throwing streamers produced some fish.  Today looks decent with cloud cover and a chance of afternoon thunderstorms.  Rainfall should total 1/4″.  Hopefully that pushes the bugs in the afternoon.
