Delaware River Report: September 11, 2022

We have decent cloud cover this morning and may see a few showers before lunch. There is a better chance of steady rain this afternoon. Total rainfall should be around .12″ so it should help the fishing hopefully pushing the hatches earlier in the day. Small olives are still the main hatch with a mix of Isonychias, cahill / stenos, yellow sallies, heptagenia, and flying ants in the mix. Today will be cooler with the air temp hitting 69 degrees. Wind will be a 5 – 10 mph from the South.
