Delaware River Report / Conditions June 22, 2017

The flows look great this morning with levels decent for wading and floating.  Water temps are decent just dropping a degree from yesterday morning after a cool night.  We should have some sun today with highs approaching 80 degrees.  There may be some fish eating caddis and olives on top early, before the fog burns off.  Nymphing or blind casting isonychias in the riffles should be decent during the day before the real hatching begins.  Once the sun drops behind the hills we should see more sulphurs, cahills, and caddis hatching right into dark.  The release from Cannonsville remains at 401 cfs.
