Delaware River Report / Conditions September 3, 2020

We had a light rain most of yesterday and like normal the Eastern drainage flows came up quite a bit but the West Branch is is fine shape this morning.  The flow at Hale Eddy is 737 cfs and has peaked and is beginning to drop.  The release from Cannonsville is around 340 cfs.  The West is clear and still wadeable.  We’ll be warmer today at 79 degrees but we should keep most of the cloud cover.  There is a chance of a little more rain this afternoon.  Wind will be 4 – 7 mph from the South.  Olives, caddis, and a few isonychias should cover most of what you see.  Definitely carry flying ants- especially since we’ll be warmer today.
