Delaware River Report: August 7, 2023

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

We were hit with some rain overnight and the flows are increasing from runoff. The Oquaga Creek flow is 189 cfs and climbinb so the West Branch will be rising until that begins to drop. Click on the gauge links below for the latest flow information. The flow at Stilesville bumped slightly to 521 cfs but that should remain in decent shape today. Fishing above Oquaga is your best bet for daytime dry fly activity.

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 77 degrees with clouds. Wind will be 5 – 10 from the South. Wunderground is predicting some afternoon thunderstorms with more wind and somewhere between 1/4 and 1/2″ of additional rain..
