Delaware River Report / Conditions October 9, 2011

Not bad yesterday! Fishermen were able to find rising fish, with good numbers of Isos, psuedos, and some smaller stenos thrown into the mix as well. It wasn’t like Hendrickson time, but it was still good to hear that there are hungry fish still rising in the river. The warmer weather continues today, so we expect to see similar activity throughout the system. The West is still high and cloudy, so it will still be likely a streamer-style day on the upper stretches.
