The Delaware River Club: Upper Delaware River Report 9/4/10

Today’s forecast calls for partly cloudy skies with high wind gusts and a high of 69 degrees.  River is up and slightly off-color due to the increase in the release.  Clarity has improved from yesterday and there should be less free-floating debris as well.  Yesterday had a scattering of olives and flying ants throughout the day and today should be more of the same.  Streamers will likely be the best choice, at least until you start getting some surface action.
