Delaware River Report: June 24, 2023

UPDATE: This morning’s rain has increased the flows on both branches. While the flows are still wadeable, make sure to check the gauges before heading out.

We had two batches of showers roll through the area yesterday evening and are getting some light rain this morning. The flows have bumped only slightly since most of the rain soaked into the ground. The showers should be past us soon with a chance of another short burst later today. The rain often makes the bugs and fish active. Bring your rain jacket today and your olives, sulphurs, and Isos.
