Delaware River Report / Conditions October 13, 2017

The release from Cannonsville Reservoir has been dropped to 282 cfs.  Tomorrow there should be a push of water coming out of Rio Reservoir that may be counted on to help meet the Montague Flow Target.  Lake Wallenpaupack still lists a zero generation schedule through Sunday night.  We are coming off a cool night and heading into a cool day so water temperatures should tay in good shape.  We should see clouds for most of today.  There is some very light precipitation in the weekend’s forecast but we’ll be happy with just the clouds.  Olives are definitely still the mainstay on most of the system.  Hebes, isonychias, and just a few cahill / stenos are holding on.  Caddis are everywhere but the fish seem to eat most of them under the surface.
