Delaware River Report / Conditions April 4, 2021

It took a while to warm up yesterday but y late afternoon it was pleasant outside.  We’re starting off a little warmer at 31 degrees this morning and we’ll end warmer than yesterday right around 60 degrees.  Wind should be around 10 mph from the North.  The release from Cannonsville is still 1499 cfs but the flow is dropping slowly at Hale Eddy.  the rest of the rivers in the system are dropping too and there are both wade and float options at these levels.  Streamers and nymphs early with the possibility of some stoneflies and caddis in the afternoon during the warmest part of the day.

 

The Hale Eddy is flow is dropping slowly due the higher release from Cannonsville
