Delaware River Report / Conditions June 21, 2015

The flows are up this morning due to some overnight rains.  It looks like the West Branch at Hale Eddy is leveling off around 1,400 cfs at the 5:45 am update.  We have additional rain in this morning’s forecast so click on the gauge links below for the most up to date information. The Upper West Branch above Oquaga Creek should be in good shape.  Sulphurs, cahills, olives, and isonychias should be on the menu today.  Streamers could also be effective if the tributaries start pushing a little color into the rivers.  The water temps look good this morning and held up well yesterday with the rain and cloud cover.  If you head out today bring a raincoat.   We should get another 1/4″ or more of rain today which is great for the river system.
