Delaware River Report / Conditions October 14, 2021

The river levels are still steady on the tailwaters so there are some wade opportunities but we are running a bit high.  The Beaverkill and Willowemoc are in good shape to so there are a lot of options.  Today looks god with cloud cover, 70 degrees, and wind 5 – 10 mph from the North.  Olives are still making up the bulk of the bugs but there are decent Heptagenia and Isonychias on some river sections.  The bushes are full of caddis so they will hit the water eventually.
