Delaware River Report: April 27, 2023

The Cannonsville spill increased slightly to 234 cfs bringing the flow at Hale Eddy is 1,180 cfs. There are still spots to wade if you’re cautious. The Beaverkill flow dropped slightly so the overall affect will be minimal. We had some rain showers last night into this morning but the feeder streams look fine. The precip should be done for the day. Some river sections are seeing a mix of apple caddis and just a couple of March Browns joining the Hendricksons, blue quills, and olives. Other river sections seem to be more normal with blue quills, olives, and a few hendricksons. Water temps seem to be the driving force. Overall yesterday fished very well.

Today will be warmer hitting 60 degrees with sun. Wind will be light and variable.
