Delaware River Report: April 18, 2024

The release from Cannonsville is still 0 cfs with 1,502 cfs spilling over the dam. The spill increased slightly due to the zero release. The river flows are dropping slowly. There was a slight bump from the rain overnight but we are starting off lower than yesterday morning. The 10 day forecast doesn’t show any significant rain. Today looks good with cloud cover and light wind. We should see the olives, blue quills, and some hendricksons on the water this afternoon. Nymphing or streamers early. The flows are still high so floating is the way to go on the West, East, and Mainstem. The Beaverkill at Cooks Falls is 1,400 cfs. There will be limited options there. The Willowemoc should have more wad options.

Today will be 51 degrees with cloud cover. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the South.
