Delaware River Report / Conditions April 2, 2018

Snow is falling this morning.  The sun should come out this afternoon and all of this will melt quickly.  Wunderground is forecasting 1 – 3″ today.  A little extra cold runoff will be good for the system.  Most of the water in the system is runoff so the rivers are dropping slowly.  The release from Cannonsville is 374 cfs.  NYS water is now open making wading much easier if you stay above most of the feeder creeks. Water temps are similar throughout the system starting off in the high 30’s to low 40’s.   Nymphs and streamers are definitely the way to go.  Keep changing it up until you find the fish.
