Delaware River Report / Conditions September 20, 2021

Yesterday was a lot of sun with a few clouds.  There were some blue wing olives out and fish were landed on dries, nymphs, and streamers.  The high water has kept the streamer fishing going- especially when there are clouds out.  the cool nights are dropping the water temps  on the Mainstem and freestones.  Again the Beaverkill and Willowemoc offer the best wade opportunities.  Today will be a lit like yesterday with a high of 75 degrees and sunshine.  Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the South.
