The fishing was nothing to write home about.

The average temp for today is a high of 68 and a low of 45. It was in the high seventies with bright sunshine today with a predicted low of  sixtyone tonight. A beautiful early fall day most would say. Not us fishermen.  The bright sun and warm nighttime temperatures are keeping the river too warm for good fall bugs.  A front is supposed to come through tonight or tomorrow that is supposed to get things back to normal or even a little below, we'll see.

Today it was just too hot and sunny. Didn't even think about fishing until 5:00 and that was way too early. Spent time trying to get the yard back in shape after the dry, hot summer, tied up a few flies, made some business calls, shot the bow (had to walk down to the target two times to chase one of  the apple loving deer away from the target), and just  maybe closed my eyes for a minute or two.

The fishing - Left something to be desired. After two good days of fall fishing this one left a lot to be desired. Tried a pool in the lower EB, just to see; saw nothing. Went over to the WB (Jim N. - It was about a 3/8's of a mile drive), and would have stood there for the better part of two hours watching bubbles go by if it weren't for another DROF (you figure it out) who joined me. Turns out we are both crazy and have fished many of the same places all crazy fly fishermen do.  Both of us were eying the water for risers but with nothing happening we caught bones, tarpon and too many Delaware River trout to begin to count.  About 7:15 the first fish began to rise, hooked and landed a 13 inch brown, hooked and lost a 15ish rainbow (spinout), changed flies to one I could see, was refused three times, reeled it in and was in the car at 7:36.
