Delaware River Report: September 8, 2024

We had some rain yesterday afternoon that bumped the flows slightly but not enough to be noticeable. The rain and cloud cover definitely helped yesterday and people landed fish on small olives and Isonychias. Nymphing and streamers also put fish in the net. We’ll have a bit more sun and wind today but the wind should drop back i the late afternoon into the evening. Water temps throughout the system are in great shape after another cool night.

Today will be 64 degrees and partly cloudy. Total rainfall should be .32″. Wind will be 10 – 15 mph from the North.
