Delaware River Report / Conditions July 22, 2021

Cannonsville is now spilling.  The flow at Stilesville is 1,600 cfs.  Overall the runoff has dropped and the rivers flows throughout the system are down quite a bit from yesterday.  Wading still is not an option.  Some of the small streams in the headwaters may offer some opportunity.  The clarity has improved a lot since yesterday morning.  Enough that if there are bugs the fish will eat.  Most people will opt for streamers today as their best bet.  We’ll have sunshine, wind 5 – 10 from the North, and hit 75 degrees.  We don’t see any rain in the forecast for the next few days.
