Delaware River Report: September 10, 2022

The river flows have settled a bit and everything looks good this morning. The afternoon sunshine made dry fly fishing a little tough during the day but nymphing and swinging wets worked early. The dry fly fishing came in the evening as the sun dropped. Small olives are still the main hatch with a mix of Isonychias, cahill / stenos, yellow sallies, heptagenia, and flying ants in the mix. Plus a few more fall caddis are showing up. Today will be sunny with the air temp hitting 80 degrees. Wind will be a non factor.
