Delaware River Report: September 9, 2022

The river flow are dropping back to normal and people are wading areas other than Stilesville again. The clarity is fine. The sun was out yesterday afternoon so nymphing worked well early. Small blue wing olives are still the main hatch but there are some Isonychisa, cahill/stenos, heptagenia, and flying ants around. We’re also seeing a few more caddis which means Fall is definitely coming. It’s really foggy this morning but that should burn off in the next hour or two. Today will be sunny hitting 80 degrees. wind will be light and variable.

The West Branch flow ha dropped back nicely for fishing
