Delaware River Report / Conditions June 27, 2014

 

Just a quick report today.  Sorry for the delay- love computer issues.  All the the river levels are dropping back nicely but the Beaverkill has color beginning around Horton and that continues down the East Branch and Mainstem leaving the West Branch as the best option today.  It also looks like Pepacton may possibly be spilling warm water looking at the flow leveling out plus the warm temperature.  The West Branch is clear, wadable, and fishable for the entire length.  The water temperature at the Hancock Bridge is 60 degrees this afternoon so it’s in great shape.
