Delaware River Club: Upper Delaware River Report 10/3/2010

Today it looks like we are going to have mostly sunny skies with a high around 60 degrees. The West Branch is down to 785 cfs this morning after the heavy rains that we received Thursday and is at a wade-able level throughout most of the river. The East Branch has also come back down but is probably still too high to attempt to wade unless you are on the very upper stretches. Streamers would likely be the best option for today but there is always a chance of decent surface action on BWO’s and Caddis.
