Delaware River Report / Conditions October 5, 2021

The river flows are up throughout the system due to yesterday’s rain.  The rivers are off color but should clear as they drop over the next few days.  We shouldn’t see any appreciable amount of rain today but we should keep the clouds.  Wind will be light and variable.  A good day to throw streamers from a boat.  There is always a shot at dry fly fishing  on the West so bring that rod just in case.  Long slow pools at these flows.  Wading isn’t recommended on any of the rivers today.  Some of the headwater streams would be the best bet.

 

The flow at Hale Eddy will drop slowly this week
