Delaware River Report / Conditions October 15, 2021

The tailwater releases are  still steady so the East and West branches are pretty much in the same shape as yesterday.  Today is going to be warmer hitting 76 degrees with a chance of thunderstorms.  The rain today should not amount to much but the cloud cover will be good.  We’re still fishing a lot of blue wing olives but are seeing Heptagenia and Isonychias (heavier on some river sections).  tomorrow’s forecast is shifting around but it looks like rain in the morning with scattered thunderstorms in the afternoon.
