Delaware River Report / Conditions October 18, 2021

The river flows have dropped quite a bit since yesterday but remain high.  There is still quite a bit of runoff coming in plus the releases on both the West Branch and East Branch haven’t changed in over a week.  The best wade opportunities will be on the Beaverkill and Willowemoc today.  Yesterday was definitely a streamer day with some fish being landed.  Today looks similar with the chance of some scattered showers, 49 degrees, and wind 10 – 20 mph from the North.  Luckily we warm back up a bit tomorrow.
