Delaware River Report / Conditions August 4, 2021

The sun stuck around a little longer than we wanted but there were some passing clouds that helped the fishing.  There is still mid day fishing on some sections with sulphurs, olives, and some Isonychias.  Mid West Branch picked up with decent cahills and a few pseudos in the late afternoon.  We’re also seeing a few golden drakes mixed in.   Nymphing midday put some fish in the net too. Today looks the same as yesterday with a high of 77 degrees and sunshine.  Wind will be 5 – 10 from the East.  The cooler air temps have really helped the water temps.  Especially the nights in he 50’s.
