Delaware River Report: August 6, 2023

The aqueduct work has been pushed off until Fall of 2024.

There was some brief showers on the eastern part of the system but the West Branch remains the same flow. Today will be warm so seek out the coolest water close to the dams. Midday hatches of small sulphurs and olives will be in that colder water.

Next weekend is our annual Get Trashed cleanup event. Join us for a great time removing trash from the river system. Check out the video to see what it’s all about.

Today will be 82 degrees with sunny skies. Wind will be light and variable.
