Delaware River Report / Conditions April 13, 2018

According to the hotline the release from Cannonsville Reservoir is 1,499 cfs.  It is currently spilling 23 cfs.  The rain has bumped the flow in the Beaverkill which has bumped the flow in the lower East Branch.  The East Branch above the Beaverkill remains low.  It’s already warm out this morning.  We will be in the mid to high 60’s for the next two days so it will feel like Summer out there.  Streamers are still the most reliable method but there has been an increase of stonefly activity plus a few mayflies spotted.  We’re looking forward to some decent fishing over the next few days.
