Delaware River Report: September 22, 2024

Again today will look like the last two days but just barely cooler so it should fish the same. Streamers should be a good bet before the sun hits the water. There’s also a shot of finding some surface feeding early. We’ve had some olive flushes in the sun but mostly in the late afternoon with a light mix of hebes, Isonychias, and cahills. If Wunderground is correct we should get some rain beginning tomorrow and lasting or a few days plus much cooler temps. That could push the fall bugs this week.

Today will be 75 degrees with a mix of sun and clouds. Wind will be light and variable.
