Delaware River Report / Conditions October 19, 2015

Congratulations to our own Kevan Smaracko and Tanya Ryan for tying the knot this past Saturday!

Yesterday certainly felt like winter with cold wind and snow showers that were surprisingly heavy at times.  Luckily the warming trend is beginning today with air temperatures in the low 50’s.  Winds look manageable with gusts staying below 10 mph.  We should see air temperatures in the 60’s by the end of the week.  Pseudos will continue to be the main hatch with a few isonychias and heptagenias.  The West Branch is up slightly from yesterday so there are better wading opportunities on the lower East Branch and upper Mainstem.

 

Congratulations to Kevan and Tana!  Wishing them both a long, happy life together.
