Delaware River Report / Conditions July 10, 2014

We had a very brief heavy rain storm hit the West Branch around 5 Pm last night that really seemed to get the bugs and fish going but did little to the flow or clarity of the water.  Isonychias, Olives, and Cahills fished well into the evening with a flush of sulphurs coming at dark.  The flow at Hale Eddy is 676 cfs so we are in good shape for wading and floating while the temperature under the Hancock Bridge is 56 degrees this morning.  Today looks warm with some sun and very little wind.  As of yesterday Cannonsville is at 98.4% capacity and Pepacton is 99.5%.
