The Delaware River Club: Upper Delaware River Report 10/15/10

Overcast and rainy today with some wind and a high of only 50 degrees.  Caddis have been stirring up some action later in the evenings this past week and some small Olives have also been coming, but not in any kind of numbers really.  The West has gone up slightly with a small increase in the releases and has the river at a floatable level, but some sections may still be a little “skinny”.  Streamers should work well on a day like today, and hopefully we will see some more activity with the Olives as well.  The East Branch and Main Stem are also in great shape. With favorable water temperatures and decent flows across the board, have conditions looking good headed into the weekend!
