Delaware River Report / Conditions May 29, 2021

The West Branch is clear in Homepool at 6 am.  If that changes or the flows change dramatically we’ll do another update.

The rain should end around 10 am this morning.  The West Branch at Hale Eddy flow has peaked and is beginning to drop.  The flows on the East Branch, Beaverkill, and Mainstem are still climbing at 6 am this morning.  Click on the gauge link below for the latest flow information.  Today will be 51 degrees with wind 10 – 15 mph from the North.  We may see another 1/4″ of rain tomorrow.  Along with the bugs listed below we are finding a few green drakes and brown drakes.  And definitely pseudos so carry your tiny  blue wing olive box.
