Delaware River Report: April 5, 2024

The river flows are still up but are beginning to drop. All the rivers are at decent levels for floating. If we don’t see any significant precip in the next few days some wade opportunities should open up on the Beaverkill and Willowemoc first. Today stick to the headwaters and small creeks again. Cannonsville is spilling 232 cfs. We’re still on a warming trend and should see air temps in the 50’s and 60’s starting Sunday. That should help the dry fly fishing.

Today will be 41 degrees with rain showers. Total rainfall should only be .05″. Wind will be 10 – 20 mph from the North.

The flow at Hale Eddy leveled off and is beginning to drop this morning
