Delaware River Report: August 7, 2022

There was another 200 cfs pulse from Cannonsville overnight but the levels are already back down. Small sulphurs and cahills are still hatching during the afternoon in the coldest river sections. Definitely have your small olive box too. The lower river sections have been a mix of olives and cahills towards dark. There are a few caddis around so that might be worth a shot on picky fish. Today will be slightly cooler with a chance of mid-afternoon thunderstorms.

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

Another pulse from Cannonsville to keep Lordville at 75 degrees
