Delaware River Report / Conditions October 8, 2011

Although we are currently beset by a thick fog, we expect it to roll on out of here shortly, as it is supposed to get near 80 (!!) today here in Starlight. Not quite sure how this will affect the bugs or the fish, but we are expecting more clouds than we had over the course of the last two days, which should make both the insects and the fish happier! There were some rising fish later on in the afternoon, but as soon as the temperature dropped, they shut off like a light switch. I would expect the same to occur today.
