Delaware River Report: October 12, 2024

It’s another cool morning with frost on the windshields in the higher elevations. it’ll take a little while to warm up today. The weather should be the same as yesterday but with more wind so it’s the same program. Nymphs or streamers in the morning with the hatches coming later in the afternoon. The olives and hebes are still making up most of the bugs but we’ve seen an increase in the Isonychias this week. The hourly forecast has the wind dropping a bit in the afternoon.

Cannonsville is turning over so the West Branch has that green tint we get most Falls. It doesn’t bother the fish or the bugs.

Today will be 62 degrees with sun and clouds mixed. Wind will be 10 – 20 mph from the North.
