Delaware River Report / Conditions September 4, 2021

The river flows are dropping slowly but there are good opportunities for wading and floating.  The cooler nights have helped drop the water temps so there is more fishable water now. Yesterday was a good mix of dry fly, nymphs, and streamers.  We saw decent blue wing olives in the evening with a few Isonychias and cahills.  We may have a little more sunshine today with a high of 74 degrees.  Wind will be 2 mph from the North.
