Delaware River Report / Conditions October 5, 2015

The release from Cannonsville has been increased this morning.  They are ramping it up and we should settle in around a 783 cfs release. Right now the flows are still rising on the West Branch but should settle in by the afternoon.  Small olives are the fly of choice but we are seeing some of the Fall isonychias show up plus the odd leftover flying ants and cahills.

We are on a warming trend again and air temperatures should hit the mid 60’s with mostly sun showing through a few clouds.  Winds will be mild with gusts only reaching 5 mph.  All in all in sounds like a great Fall day.

And up we go to 783 cfs
