Delaware River Report / Conditions September 7, 2021

We had a brief rain shower yesterday afternoon but otherwise was a mix of sun and wind.  Nymphing was the best option during the day.  Blind casting isonychias or cahills was the other option.  The olives came as the sun dropped and there were fish eating them.  Plus a few Heptagenias.  Today is going to be 75 degrees with “plentiful” sunshine.  Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the South.  It will probably fish a lot like yesterday.
