Delaware River Report: August 23, 2022

The release from Cannonsville was increased slightly and the flow at Stilesville is 515 cfs. Not a big jump so the West Branch will look pretty much the same as yesterday. We had a few brief periods of rain but it soaked into the ground The larger thunderstorms missed us. Most of our fish were caught on small olives yesterday. There are still some sulphurs around mixed with cahills and Isonychias but the fish we found were on the little olives. We have some fog this morning and should see some rain showers today. Total rainfall should be a negligible .12″. 78 degrees with wind 5 – 10 mph from the West.

The East Branch at Fishs Eddy and the Beaverkill at Cooks Falls both peaked over 70 degrees yesterday. Give these sections a break until we get cooler temps.

Matt found some decent fish on dries yesterday
