Delaware River Report / Conditions April 26, 2014

Cannonsville has stopped spilling and they have dropped the release to 1198 cfs.  Our guides found some fish rising to Blue Quills yesterday in the mid afternoon.  Streamers are still getting more attention from the fish but that will change as the water warms and the hatching activity increases.  It looks like the dryfly fishing is about to break wide open so next week should be awesome.  Cannonsville is currently 99.8%.
