Delaware River Report / Conditions October 27, 2017

The release from Cannonsville Reservoir is 456 cfs this morning.  It is scheduled to drop at 8 Am to 379 cfs and again at 10 Am to 348 cfs until further notice.  The forecast is calling for quite a bit of rain on Sunday- actually a few inches that should be enough to meet the Montague Flow Target.  In the meantime today and tomorrow look decent with sunshine and air temps around 60 degrees.  We may see some winds around 15 mph tomorrow afternoon as the front moves in but overall it doesn’t look too bad.  Yesterday was raw and windy in the afternoon.  It looked like a good day to swing streamers through the bigger pools or nymph the drop offs on the Mainstem or lower East Branch.
