Delaware River Report / Conditions April 30, 2014

The rivers are still in decent shape after yesterdays cold and rain.  River temps are starting off in their normal range and the flows only had a minor bump.  More cool temps and rain on the way today but Thursday’s weather looks great for fishing.  The rivers still fished yesterday with a number of fish landed on nymphs and the weather never seemed as bad here as the weatherman was making it sound.  Cannonsville is at 99.2% capacity.
