Delaware River Report / Conditions July 10,2011

July 10, 2011

The release has gone down to 712 cfs and continues to slowly get back to the 500 cfs set flow. The bright sun and warmer temperatures we faced yesterday made the fishing tough, but with forecast of thunderstorms in the near future we should see the fish become more active. The decrease in flow has enabled the wade fisherman to access most spots on the West Branch, while the Main Stem and East Branch still remain a little to high.

Hello and good morning –internet issues today,sorry for the delay in posting.

The release is down to 950 cfs,which means we can expect almost a carbon-copy of yesterday! Olives were abundant on the upper West Branch,and fish were up and feeding. There was a TON of heavy fog over the river starting in late afternoon,but it only affected visibility for the fishermen –not the fish. Bugs kept coming and fish kept rising! Let’s hope for more today!
