Delaware River Report: September 10, 2024

We had a little rain after dark but not enough to bump the flows. All of the rivers are in great shape with decent water temps and flows. We’ll have a bit more sunshine today but the wind will be fine at 5 – 10 mph. So we’ll stick to the same program with nymphing or swinging wets early and dry fly in the afternoon. The olives have started between 3:30 and 4:30 most days with some hebes mixed in. There are some Isonychias and cahills around so blind casting the riffles could work well. We’re on a little warming trend this week so keep the flying ants in your box just in case. If you’re on the Mainstem have a couple white flies with you.

Today will be 72 degrees and partly cloudy. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the North.
