Delaware River Report / Conditions April 13, 2021

We had a little more rain yesterday afternoon and overnight.  The river flows are up a little but not too bad.  We should see most of them peak and begin to drop soon.  The West Branch at Hale Eddy is at 627 cfs so it’s in good shape this morning.  The weather will clear up today with sunshine, light wind, and 63 degrees.   We may see some showers during the week but nothing that looks like it will add a lot water to the system.  We found some fish eating olives yesterday in the rain.  There were enough fish eating steady enough that you could target them and keep it interesting.
