Delaware River Report / Conditions October 29, 2011

GREAT day on the river yesterday – Olives galore on both the lower East, West, and Main Stem. I had fish rising all the way until dark right out on Home Pool, and Jeff had a great day out on the main with plenty of hungry rainbows grabbing every little Pseudo that floated past. Not sure whether or not the incoming snow was their motivation or not, but I think that it might be the case – we are on the tailing edge of the storm, and predicted to receive 4-6″ of the white stuff between this afternoon and tomorrow.
