Delaware River Report / Conditions July 29, 2019

Most of the afternoon storms missed us but we did get some coming through in the early evening.  The rain fall didn’t change the rivers much and everything looks good today.  The release from Cannonsville was dropped back yesterday bringing the flow at Stilesville of 605 cfs this morning.  The West Branch looks good this morning.  We’re starting off with some sunshine this morning but should see some clouds and scattered storms move in around noon.  Wind 5 – 7 mph from the South.  Total precip should be around 1/10th” so the flows will not be affected.  There are a lot of small olives on the door this morning so definitely have those ready today.

It’s a small olive kind of day

Water temps are hot on the Beaverkill at Cooks Falls, the East Branch at Fishs Eddy, and the Mainstem at Lordville.  Give the fish a break in those areas and fish colder water.
