Delaware River Report: April 3, 2024

Yesterday’s rain was light during the day but came down a little heavier overnight. Today is all about the weather. The river flows are up a bit and may rise more if additional rain hits us today. We’re still at fine levels for floating but wading will be best and safest on the smaller tributaries. If you’re on the Beaverkill keep an eye on the flow. It was 888 cfs at 6:30 this morning but may be higher on the next flow update. The 10 day forecast shows increasing air temperatures each day after today. The wind will be up making it a nymph and streamer day.

Today will be 39 degrees with .5″ of rain. Wind will be 20 – 30 mph from the East.

Oquaga Creek in Deposit is 157 cfs this morning. Hopefully any additional rain slides around us
