Delaware River Report / Conditions April 5, 2018

Cannonsville Reservoir is spilling a little this morning.  The release is 1,499 cfs.  The flow below the dam is still increasing this morning.  The air temp will stay a bit lower today but it looks like that will improve next week.  The East Branch flow at Harvard bumped up a bit from runoff but is dropping back now at 576 cfs and falling.  There will be water that is decent for wading from there up to Downsville.  Stick with streamers on the West Branch and change them up until the fish tell you what they want.  Most of the action will be in the warmest part of the afternoon when the water temps are at their highest point of the day.
