Delaware River Report / Conditions June 9, 2021

One of the mid afternoon thunderstorms hit us bringing some heavy rain to some areas.  The rivers came up but the flow at Hale Eddy is already dropping.  The West Branch is off color but it is fishable.  It should clear up as the flow drops.  The flow at Stilesville didn’t budge so the color should be coming in from Oquaga Creek down.  We have a chance of some thunderstorms this afternoon but it looks like less than .05″ of rain.  Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the North.  A lot of yesterday’s storms slid south of us so we got lucky.  Keep an eye on the Stilesville gauge in case we begin to spill.
