Delaware River Report / Conditions June 1, 2021

The release from Cannonsville has been increased slightly to 500 cfs.  It’s not a drastic change so there won’t be a noticeable difference for wading between yesterday and today.  The rivers are looking good this morning and starting off at decent water temperatures.  We should see more cloud cover today with the air temp reaching 74 degrees.  Less wind at 5 – 10 mph from the West.  There are a lot of different bugs hatching right now so the last few days have been both productive and a lot of fun.
