Delaware River Report / Conditions September 25, 2020

The release from Cannonsville has been increases a bit and the flow at Hale Eddy is 540 cfs this morning.  Everything looks good for the weekend.  Today will be 79 degrees with some sunshine.  Wind should not be a factor at 5 – 7 mph from the South.  Yesterday fished well most of the day with a mix of caddis and olives early joined by some hebes late in the afternoon.  Some people are finding fish on isonychias and still a few flying ants.
