Delaware River Report / Conditions October 26, 2015

The rain over the last few days has increases the flow slightly on the East Branch side by about 50 cfs this morning.  The flow increase was less in the West Branch drainage so you shouldn’t notice much of a change today.  The wind made fishng tough yesterday but there were some fish rising to olives in the big slow pools and on edges in some river sections.  Accuweather is calling for maximum wind gusts of 5 mph today so we shouldn’t have any problems today.  Air temperatures will reach the low 50’s but it will take a while to warm up this morning.  We have a light frost on the ground.
