Delaware River Report / Conditions July 6, 2017

The release from Cannonsville has been dropped back to 600 cfs, still making for great wading and floating on the West Branch. The lower East Branch, Beaverkill and the Main Stem are still warm. If the weather forecast is to be believed, there should be clouds developing this afternoon with a possibility of some thunderstorms. The rainfall amounts look minor and probably won’t affect the levels. Sulphurs, olives, cahills, and isonychias continue to be the most prevalent hatches.
