Delaware River Report / Conditions August 25, 2020

We woke up to a little rain this morning.  The front that brought the rain should drop the air temp back to the low 80’s today with wind 10 – 15 from the North.  The total rainfall should be less than 1/4″.  We had some other thunderstorms go north and South of us yesterday but aside from brief clod cover we didn’t see much out of them.  So far the river flows are steady so everything is clear and looking good for today.  It looks like a good olive day and hopefully the weather pushes some isonychias.  We’re seeing more caddis as Fall aproaches too.  Tonight we drop to 54 degrees so that combined with the cloud cover today should help the water temps on the other rivers.

The lower Beaverkill, lower East Branch, and Mainstem temperatures are all peaking over 70 degrees.  Give those rivers a break until they cool down. 

So far the flows are steady this morning
