Delaware River Report: September 28, 2023

Bob Lewis’s memorial information:

The river flows have dropped quite a bit overnight and every river is in good shape this morning. We’re going to have to deal with the sunshine again so nymphs and wets are probably the best early bets. Hopefully we’ll see the olives, Heptagenia, and a few Isonychias hatch in the afternoon. We’re still seeing algae in the Upper West Branch so streamers and nymphing are better below Hale Eddy.

Today will be 67 degrees and partly cloudy. Wind 5 – 10 mph from the South

What’s Hatching:
Olive Sulphur – # 18 – 20 – Heptagenia hebe
Slate Drake – # 12 – 14 – Isonychia bicolor
Dark Blue Wing Olive – #18 – 20 – deficiens, lata
Tiny Blue Wing Olive – #22 – 26 – Pseudocleon sp.
Olive Caddis – #16 – 18 – Ryacophilia sp.
Tan Caddis – #16 – 18 – Hydropsyche sp.
Dark Blue Wing Olive – #16 – 18 – Baetis spp.
