Delaware River Report / Conditions October 3, 2011

It is CHILLY out there! We are looking at a high in the mid-50s, with some rain possible. Yesterday turned out to be rather pleasant, both from the weather point of view as well as the fishing! There were fish rising to charcoal caddis for a large chunk of the afternoon in the still water, and quite a few made it into the boat. Not sure how the overcast skies and possible rain will affect the fish, but we’ve got a few guys going out to check on it!
