Delaware River Report / Conditions August 2, 2021

We were hit with rain late yesterday afternoon that added some runoff to the rivers.  The West Branch at Hale Eddy peaked around 800 cfs and is already dropping this morning.  The rain did push olives and some Isonychias in the evening.  The fish did get on them in the slow sections until the river colored up just towards dark.  it cleared up overnight and Homepool looks good this morning.  We’ll see more sun today with no rain.  74 degrees with wind 10 – 15 mph from the North.
