Delaware River Report / Conditions September 13, 2020

Everyone out there yesterday dealt with a little more sun and wind than they would have liked but overall it was pleasant and fish were landed.  Most dry fly fish came on olives but there were some caddis, isos , and white flies in spots.  Nymphing or swinging wets were better bets early in the day.  The fishing seemed spotty with no rhyme or reason during the sunshine so it payed to move around.  We should see more cloud cover today with wind 2 – 9 mph from the South.  We may see some rain but the total should be negligible.
