Delaware River Report / Conditions August 5, 2021

Today looks like another sunny day with a few clouds here and there.  Stick to the normal program for this release and stay near the dams for daytime sulphurs and then drop down to the mid or lower West for cahills, Isonychias, and a few olives.  We are seeing some caddis back on the water.  Nymphing has been effective during the day.  If you don’t like to nymph we are finding fish blind casting Isonychias and cahills.  The cool nights have kept a lot of water open to us so take advantage before the heat comes back.  79 degrees with wind 5 – 10 mph from the North.  The overnight will be back down to 57 degrees.
