Delaware River Report / Conditions October 22, 2017

The release from Cannonsville is 908 cfs until further notice.  Originally we heard it was going to drop dramatically at midnight based on the rain forecast for Tuesday.  Depending on which station you watch we are getting no rain on Tuesday, a fair amount of rain, or a lot of rain.  It seems to change every hour.  So we’re are expecting a drop but do not know when it will start or how long it will take, or where it will end up.  Today looks like it will be the last with air temperatures in the 70’s and then we settle in the comfortable 60’s for he week.  Olives and streamers seem to be the main choices but definitely have a few caddis and isonychia spinners.
