Delaware River Report: September 13, 2024

Today is going to be exactly like yesterday with a few extra clouds. The rivers are in great shape with decent flows and temps. Conditions haven’t changed much so it’s fishing the same. Nymphing or swinging wets will be the best bet during the day. Some people are finding odd midday flushes of olives. Blind casting some riffles could also work. The olives should hatch in the late afternoon along with some hebes, Isonychias, and cahills. The warmer river sections may see some white flies. It’s definitely flying ant weather so have that box handy.

Today will be 81 degrees with partly sunny skies. Wind will be light and variable.
