Delaware River Report / Conditions June 22, 2021

Some of the storms did hit us last night.  The rain came down pretty hard before dark but the most of it soaked into the ground.  The West Branch looks fine this morning and the flow hasn’t increased.  There is a slight bump in flow on the Beaverkill and East Branch.  We woke up to a little more rain falling but that should clear up by the afternoon.  The air temp will stay in the 60’s and wind will be 10 – 15 from the North.

The Lower East Branch, Mainstem, and Beaverkill at Cooks Falls all peaked over 70 degrees yesterday and are starting of hot today.   It’s time to give those rivers a break and fish cold water areas.
