Delaware River Report / Conditions July 14, 2014

Good morning everyone! We finally received the rain we were waiting for.  While the river is high and off color for the moment, Stilesville should still be fish-able.  The rest of the West Branch should begin to clear by this afternoon and become prime for wading by sometime tomorrow.  This rain should keep the system fishing well for the rest of the month.

 

The graph shows the waters here are still clear enough to fish!
