Delaware River Report: September 28, 2024

The good weather continues with decent clouds and a chance of some light afternoon rain. We should see decent olives again mixed with hebes. There were a few Isonychias and cahills mixed in but the olives were the main hatch. Some river sections are seeing better bugs than others so if you’re not seeing much in the afternoon move.

Cannonsville is turning over so the West Branch has that green tint we get most Falls. It doesn’t bother the fish or the bugs.

Today will be 72 and Mostly cloudy. There may be some rain showers in the afternoon. Total rainfall should be .04″. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the South.
