Delaware River Report / Conditions September 13, 2011

The flow has been increased out of Cannonsville Dam to 1,500 cfs,  which is good news all around, as it will help lower water temperatures up river. Water clarity is great, and the streamer fishing has been pretty spectacular. I would expect a bit of a slowdown today as the fish re-acclimate to the new water temps, but this should put things a little bit more into the ‘normal’ category!
