Delaware River Report / Conditions August 6, 2021

Yesterday was very similar to Wednesday.  Sulphurs on the upper river sections mid day.  Mixed with a few olives and Isonychias.  If you were below Hale Eddy  mid day it’s a mix of nymphing and or blind casting Isonychias or cahill patterns. In the evenings you have a good shot at cahills and Isonychias.  We should pick up more cloud cover tomorrow according to Wunderground.

We’ll hit 86 degrees today with mostly sun. Wind 5 – 10 mph from the South.

The water temps started to creep up yesterday on the Beaverkill at Cooks Falls and on the Mainstem.  Watch those temps today with the sunshine and heat.
