Delaware River Report / Conditions May 6, 2021

The river flows are up after the additional rain yesterday morning.  The East Branch, West Branch , and Mainstem have zero wade opportunities today.  We are floating without any issues and even landed fish yesterday afternoon.  The Beaverkill flow at Cooks Falls has already dropped back to 1,520 cfs this morning so wade opportunities will open up over there first.  If we trust Wunderground we should have no rain today and may even see the sun in the afternoon.
