Delaware River Report / Conditions July 30, 2021

We had some a couple of patches of rain yesterday but the rivers were mainly unaffected.  The cloud cover was great and we had decent olives, cahills, and some Isonychias.  Plus the suphurs on the Upper West too.  Overall it was a really good bug day.  The olives were 18 through 26 so there was a bit of everything out there.  There was also quite a bit of slashing so the wet fly people should have done really well.  When there’s good hatching it is usually a good nymphing day.  We lose the clouds this afternoon and see some sunshine.  72 degrees with wind 10 – 20 from the North.
