The Delaware River Club: Upper Delaware River Repert 9/30/10

This heavy rain looks like it will be going nonstop for the entire day and into tomorrow morning.  A rain like this will certainly affect the river to some extent, and really, in a sense, has come to the rescue.  Dramatically low water levels due to poor releases and the lack of rain this year have allowed the river system to heat up considerably over the past week.  Luckily, this rain and the following week should allow the system to recover nicely and will hopefully recharge the fishing action.  For today, streamers will likely be the best option; good luck and stay dry!
