Delaware River Report / Conditions April 7, 2017

We had quite a bit of rain fall since yesterday afternoon.  Cannonsville Reservoir is still spilling with a lot of water coming in from the back side.  Wading is still dangerous but floating is a possibility if you’re comfortable in very high water.  If you go double check the boat ramps before hand and make sure they are usable at the higher levels.  Hale Eddy and Fishs Eddy are dropping right now as the runoff subsides but there is still a lot of water in the rivers.  We have a little snow in today’s forecast that should amount to about an inch.  Air temperatures will stay in the 30’s.  After today we are definitely on an upswing and the rest of the week will be comfortable with a couple of days peaking over 70 degrees.
