Delaware River Report / Conditions July 11, 2011

Down we go – looks like we are down to our 600 CFS release from Cannonsville – the river is stable, as the flow was gradually decreased, there should be no real “shock” to the system – the good news is that the infamous ‘green crap’ has been mitagted, as the big flush of water kicked the majority of it downstream – now you can fish your sulphurs and they won’t turn into BWO’s! Give us a call at the shop for the most up-to-the-minute info.

PS – We still have a few Sage Z-Axis 5 and 7-weight rods for sale – 35% off and free shipping!
