Tomorrow, Sunday October 19 will be the last daily blog update and shop day for 2025. It was an odd year. A tough one for waders. But some nice fish were landed. Hopefully the weather and releases are a little kinder in 2026. Daily reports will begin again on April 1, 2026. We will continue to do guide trips this Fall as long as the weather holds. To book a guide call 570-635-5880 or email flyfish@thedelawareriverclub.com
The release from Cannonsville is 800 cfs. Today will be much warmer, cloudy, with way less wind. That should help the afternoon dry fly fishing. There are some Isonychias, Cahills, hebes, olives, and caddis around. It’s been tough with the wind and bright sun over the last few days so hopefully the weather change pushes the hatches. It still the best bet to start off with streamers and nymphs.
Today will be 66 degrees and partly cloudy this morning turning cloudy in the afternoon. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the South.
What’s Hatching:
Slate Drake – #12 – 14 – Isonychia bicolor
Light Cahill – #14 – Epeorus vitreus (male), Ephemeralla rotunda, Ephemerella invaria
Heptagenia hebe – #18 – 20 – Olive Sulphur
Dark Blue Wing Olive – #16 – 18 – Baetis spp.
