Delaware River Report / Conditions August 23, 2021

The rain finally did hit us. The West Branch at Hale Eddy is 1,180 cfs but already dropping.  We are off color. If you’re already in the area Stilesville and any water above Oquaga Creek is worth checking out.   The flow at Stilesville is 571 cfs so it only cane up around 10. That is probably the best and only shot at wading today. We may see some additional rain today so check the gauges below for the latest info.  The Beaverkill, East Branch, and Mainstem are running high and off color too.
