Delaware River Report / Conditions September 14, 2011

We keep falling! Hopefully we should be a good fishing level by this weekend. Also, notice the discrepancy between the temperature at Stilesville and Hale Eddy – the reason being that the gauge at Stilesville is on the river right bank – the same side as the spillway from the dam. As such, the warm water from the spillway does not have time to mix with the cooler water coming out from the bottom of the dam – use Hale Eddy as a good estimation of the temperature! With cold nights coming, it should drop even further over the next few days.
