Delaware River Report / Conditions June 15, 2015

One of the rainstorms finally hit us!  All of the rivers in the system are high and still rising as of 6 am.  We have a lot of color in the water this morning but that should clear on the West Branch as the day goes on if we don’t get hit again.  The best news is the inflow into Cannonsville on the West Branch is 1,210 cfs and the East Branch flowing into Pepacton is 1,250 cfs.  Temps remain an issue on the Mainstem with Lordville over 70 degrees again this morning.  The Mainstem will rise for most of the day as the increased flow in the branches makes it’s way downstream.  The West Branch is wadeable this morning above Oquaga Creek with a flow of 272 cfs at Stilesville.  You should find the usual suspects up there with little olives, sulphurs, cahills, and isonychias.  Accuweather is calling for an air temp of 79 degrees today with light winds and some possible showers.

Finally we have water. The West Branch is still wadeable above Oquaga Creek
