Delaware River Report / Conditions October 13, 2018

There’s light rain falling this morning which should end by mid-day. The water levels have been slowly falling throughout the system, this morning’s rain shouldn’t raise them drastically. However, Pepacton on the East Branch has been spilling so the upper East Branch will decrease more slowly. The water temperatures are lower today due to the cool night. Today is a good day for fishing streamers from a boat, but have that dry fly rod with you for opportunities later in the day.
