Delaware River Report / Conditions October 12, 2018

It rained for most of the day yesterday with some heavier showers at times. The levels throughout the system are high today – wading is not an option. However, it looks like we’re done with the rain for a few days so the levels should decrease over the weekend. Today we have windy conditions and much cooler temperatures. According to the 10-day forecast, we should be in our normal fall weather for the next week. The West Branch is off-color but not muddy. Throw streamers at the slow edges and in the tails of the pools.
