Delaware River Report / Conditions April 13, 2016

It’s a little cool this morning but the sun is shining and the forecast has us hitting a little over 50 degrees today.  The rivers have dropped back slightly overnight as the runoff subsides.  The release from Cannonsville Reservoir is 400 cfs and the reservoir levels are still climbing.  The forecast remains the same through the weekend with sun and warm temperatures approaching the 70’s by Sunday.  Add in the Hendricksons, Blue Quills, and Blue Winged Olives that are hatching and this looks like a great time to be on the water.  This is going to be a good weekend!
