Delaware River Report: September 26, 2022

We had a bit of rain yesterday but the thunderstorms missed us. There is a minor bump in flows but overall it;s negligible and the rivers look and and are in good shape for wading and floating. There was a decent hatch of small olives. We’re seeing some Isonychias and cahills still. There are definitely caddis in the bushes. If you have a good caddis riffle it may be a good idea to stake it out for a bit looking or sporadic risers. We have clouds this morning but should see some sunshine by the afternoon. 64 degrees with wind 10 – 15 mph from the South.
