Delaware River Report: September 17, 2022

The release from Cannonsville was dropped down and the flow at Stilesville is 294 cfs. There is still some runoff coming from the feeders but we could use a little more water. Yesterday was mostly a nymph day for us with some dry fly fish eating olives in the evening. If you don’t like to nymph stick with running Isonychias or Cahill patterns through the riffles. We have decent cloud cover this morning but that should burn off and let the sun through. 78 degrees with wind 5 – 10 mph from the South.
