The Delaware River Club: Upper Delaware River Report 9/26/10

Today is supposed to be mostly cloudy with a high of 68 degrees.  Although air temperatures are moderately warm today, it is still a nice break from the bright, sunny, 80 plus degree temperatures that we have had for the past two days.  Water temperatures should start to drop and reach more favorable levels again throughout the system over this coming week.  Caddis have been the most active during the mid-day hours, then Olives and Isonychia spinners have been showing up later in the evening.  The fishing should pick back up as the temperatures decline into the mid 50’s.
