Delaware River Report / Conditions July 15, 2015

The release from Cannonsville Reservoir has been raised to 1,499 cfs this morning.  The flow in Stilesville should level out soon but Hale Eddy will continue to rise this morning.  We did have some rain overnight so the feeders are also adding a little more water.  The flow on the Beaverkill has come up this morning so the lower East Branch should rise a little later in the day.  Right now everything is clear.  There are a few creeks coming in with some color but so far everything looks fishable.  Click on the links to the gauges below for the most up to date flow information throughout the day.
Accuweather is calling for much cooler air temps today with the highs reaching the mid 70s.  We should have decent cloud cover plus a few light showers moving through mid day.  Sulphurs, olives, isonychias, and golden drakes are still making up most of the menu.
