Delaware River Report / Conditions June 10, 2017

All of the rivers in the system have dropped back overnight and the flows are looking better.  The Beaverkill / Willowemoc are now wadeable and temperatures look good.  The West, East, and Main are still mainly a boating game but are fishing well with decent hatches and Coffin Flies in some sections.  Streamers are working well- especially while there are low light conditions.  We had a brief shower this morning but it looks clear for the rest of the day.  Winds should be fine staying below 8 mph and dropping even more towards the late afternoon.  It will definitely feel warmer today with air temperatures close to 80.  It will still feel cool in the evening once the sun drops during prime time.  The release from Cannonsville Reservoir is  1,001 cfs.  There is currently 1,253 spilling.
