Delaware River Report: April 9, 2022

Today is another nonstarter. The rivers are not safe to fish. The spill over Cannonsville has increased and the West Branch is higher today than it was yesterday. The Beaverkill and East Branch have dropped a bit but remain way too high to fish. There is still debris floating down the rivers. We may see a little more rain this morning totaling under 1/4″. 48 degrees. wind 5 – 10 mph from the North.

The West Branch is higher today than yesterday
