Delaware River Report / Conditions April 20, 2018

We have a light snow covering and wind this morning.  Wonderground is sticking to their ten day forecast and today looks like the last cold day.  Tomorrow we see sun and temps climbing into the 50’s. Hopefully they are correct and the weather sticks around for a while.  The sun and warmer air temps should help warm the water bringing out the bugs.  It looks like a good week coming our way.  The hotline says the spill over Cannonsville Reservoir is 1,341 cfs and the release is zero.  The Upper EB and Beaverkill flows are both dropping.    If we don’t get any more rain the Beaverkill should be in great wading shape in a couple of days.

Streamers and nymphs today.
