Delaware River Report / Conditions September 5, 2021

We have some rain falling this morning but the total should only be .17″ to .25″ .  The rivers should be fine today.  Hopefully the cloud cover and rain will push the olives a little earlier in the day and we’ll have rising fish by the afternoon.  Nymphing and blind casting Isonychias should work during the day.  Streamers have been decent during low light periods.
