Delaware River Report: October 1, 2023

Bob Lewis’s memorial information:

We’ve been used to the cloud cover again but we should be dealing with sunshine again this afternoon. It’s going to be fogy for a bit so streamer fishing early could pay off. We have seen some flying ant on the water along with the usual mayflies and caddis. Olives, Heptagenia, and a few Isonychias. We’re still seeing algae in the Upper West Branch so streamers and nymphing are better below Hale Eddy.

Today will be 76 degrees with partly cloudy skies. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the North.
