Delaware River Report / Conditions August 5, 2015
Yesterday had more clouds than Accuweather predicted and it definitely made the fish more comfortable rising. We had decent mixes of sulphurs, isonychias, and olives, plus a few more golden drakes. The cahills were the winner for us yesterday with the spinners coming towards dark. The recording for Cannonsville Dam is stating a release of 633 cfs this morning. Stilesville is showing 598 cfs but for some reason that kind of difference shows up once in a while up there. Accuweather is calling for air temps in the 70’s today with mostly sunny skies. Winds should gust around 8 – 10 mph.

We woke up top a little light rain this morning with decent cloud cover. The sun should break through shortly but the high air temps should stay in the 70’s today. Depending on which weather channel you watch we are either going to have sun all day or we may get a stray thunder storm in the afternoon. The release from Cannonsville is 845 cfs this morning. We should drop more by tomorrow opening up even more water on the West Branch to wading. The release is still sending enough cold water down the system to keep the Upper Mainstem cool. The Main at Lordville peaked at 62 degrees yesterday which is awesome for early August. Sulphurs, olives, isonychias, and cahills are the main food source. We have seen a few of the Heptagenia hebes (olive sulphurs) in sections plus a couple of cornutas here and there.

Delaware River Report / Conditions August 3, 2015
We’ve received some great news about the situation at Cannonsville Reservoir and we are now returning to normal operations. The cold water bank should get us through the summer (as long as they release it). Portions of the press release from the NYCDEP:
- The turbid discharge downstream of the dam has been completely and successfully ended.
- After consulting with engineers from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, DEP has decided to return Cannonsville Reservoir to normal operations.
DEP has consulted with fisheries biologists at the state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) to develop the following schedule for reducing the release over the next four days:
Aug. 2 – 1,125 cfs
Aug. 3 – 844 cfs
Aug. 4 – 633 cfs
Aug. 5 – 500 cfs
Reducing the rate of release will also significantly extend the life of the cold water inside Cannonsville Reservoir, which is important for the fisheries downstream and inside the reservoir itself. There was approximately 25 billion gallons of cold water in the reservoir as of Sunday morning.
So we should be at a constant 500 cfs release by the end of the week. The West Branch should be fine for both wading and floating. Same hatches: sulphurs, cahills, olives, and isonychias. We are on the cooling trend right now with nights down in the 50’s and days switching from 80’s to 70’s. That should help keep the system in great shape.

The forecasted thunderstorms never materialized yesterday leaving us with more sun than we anticipated. The hatches came off but the fish seemed hesitant to rise steadily. While people did find steady fish, many saw one and two timers during the afternoon. It varied by location so there was no right answer, just luck. Blind casting isonychias in the riffles worked well for people who didn’t ant to wait for steady fish. Accuweather is calling for air temps in the low 80s today with sun. Unless it changes we do have a 75% chance of thunderstorms tomorrow.
Sulphurs, olives, isonychias, and cahills.

The 1500 cfs release from Cannonsville and cool nights continue to do wonders for the West Branch and the Upper Mainstem. The water temperature at Lordville peaked at 60 degrees yesterday. It would be nice to see DEP give a little more water to the East Branch under the circumstances. The bright sun made the fish a little shy early on and unfortunately the clouds moved in a little later than we wanted but there were bugs hatching and fishing rising anyway. Sulphurs, isonychias, olives, and cahills. The olives have ranged from #14 cornutas down to #26 pseudos so carry a decent range of sizes. The golden drakes seem to be coming to an end but you may still see a few on the water in the late afternoon.

Yesterday’s rain didn’t seem to amount to much besides some fog on the river. Luckily the clouds stuck around most of the day once the breeze blew the fog away. The fish were happier without the bright sun and were eating well once the hatches started. Lower river sections saw lots of olives on the water mixed with cahills and sulphurs. The upper sections saw the normal hatches of sulphurs and few isonychias. We did see some fish eat golden drakes but it seems that hatch is waning.
Accuweather is calling for sunshine with air temps in the low 80s. The water temperatures are holding up well on the Upper Mainstem with the cold release from Cannonsville. The lower East Branch is starting off at 67 degrees at Fishs Eddy this morning so that will peak over 70 again today.

The high cold release from Cannonsville continues to keep the West Branch and Upper Mainstem in great shape. Lordville peaked at 61 degrees yesterday afternoon. We also continue to see sulphurs, isonychias, cahills, and lots of olives from #18 – 26. There are a some golden drakes still around- especially on the Mainstem. There have bee some trico sightings so if you’re on the water early carry a few spinner patterns in your box. Today looks like a good fishing day as we break out of the run of really hot weather and bright sun. Accuweather is calling for air temperatures in the low 80’s with a few scattered thunderstorms. Total precipitations should be just under a 1/4″. The low release from Pepacton has heated up the lower East Branch. Fishs Eddy is starting off at 70 degrees this morning and peaked around 75 yesterday afternoon. Stick to the Upper East, the entire West Branch, and the Upper Mainstem down to Lordville. If you venture below Lordville double check the water temperature with your thermometer.

Today looks like a bright hot one. Accuweather is calling for sun and a high air temperature of 90 degrees. The 1500 release from Cannonsville will protect the West Branch and upper Mainstem. Both have been fishing well regardless of the weather. The fish will be a little shy with the bright sun so look for shaded banks or hopefully a stray cloud or two will come through in the afternoon. The hatches remain the same with sulphurs, olives, isonychias, and cahills. The amount of each mayfly changes depending on the river section you’re fishing but carry them all. The lower East Branch is too warm to fish with water temperatures starting off at 68 degrees this morning.
Tomorrow’s weather looks a little better for fishing with some stray thunderstorms in the morning and again in the afternoon. Air temps should drop back to the low 80’s.

The cold water continues on the West Branch keeping the Upper Mainstem in decent shape. The upper sections of the branches are seeing the normal sulphur and small olive hatches while cahills, isonychias, and olive are dominating the lower sections. We are still seeing a few golden drakes being taken in sections so definitely carry a few in your box on the lower WB and Main. The release from Pepacton has been cut back again. The current flow at Downsville is 191 cfs. The low release, sun, and warm air temperatures has caused the lower East Branch to warm up. Fishs Eddy peaked at 70 degrees yesterday. Stick to the upper EB, the upper Main, and the entire West Branch over the next few days as we go through this heat wave.

Last nights brief showers turned out to be a little more than Accuweather forecasted. The West Branch flows only budged slightly at Hale Eddy but the Beaverkill is now flowing at 695 cfs this morning. The release from Cannonsville remains 1,499 cfs of cold water water. The fishing has been decent (better than May) with the normal sulphur / olive fishing up top and cahills / isonychia fishing on the lower sections. The release from Pepacton has been reduced and the flow is now 378 cfs at Harvard. The cut back of cold water from Pepacton has caused the lower sections of the East Branch to warm up. Fishs Eddy is 66 degrees this morning and will be too warm to fish today. The Upper East, Upper Mainstem, and entire West Branch should remain cool despite the sun and higher air temperatures forecasted for the next few days.

We started off yesterday with bright sun but the clouds made their appearance a little earlier than expected by mid-afternoon. The fishing improved once the harsh sun was gone and we had a decent mix of olives, cahills, and sulphurs on some sections of river. The upper sections continue to get the mid-day sulphurs followed by small olives. Isonychias are still working well along with golden drakes in some sections.
We had some rain over that with some light precipitation still coming down this morning. So far the rivers look clear. Most of the rain should soak into the ground since we’ve been dry for a while. If we start to see color in the rivers we’ll post a mid-day update. They are calling for less than a tenth of an inch today so we should be fine. The light rain hitting the cold water is causing some fog on the West Branch and Upper Mainstem. The fog should come in and out as the light bands of weather hit us. The heavy fog in the morning has made early streamer fishing productive.

We had the bright sun all day yesterday making the fish shy for most of the day. Once the sun dropped the bugs came and the fish responded. In some sections the hatch seemed to be comprised mostly of olives with a few isonychias and sulphurs thrown in for good measure. The upper sections had the normal mid-day sulphurs followed by the olives. The fish were shy about eating the isonychias until the sun dropped behind the mountains. Accuweather is calling for another bright sunny day with temperatures in the low 80’s. We may see a stray thunderstorm in the late afternoon with just a small amount of precipitation.
