Delaware River Report / Conditions September 15, 2021

The release from Cannonsville was increased and the flow at Stilesville is 1,330 and climbing this morning.  So far we’ve had a few showers but not enough to affect the river conditions.  Wunderground shows around 1/2″ of rain today mainly from thunderstorms.  Wading will be tough without the rain so definitely keep a close eye on the river gauges below.  The increased release on the West Branch may increase the tint of the water but it will be fishable.  Streamers may be a good option- especially if we get hit with the rain.  Otherwise olives and a few Heptagenia.  There have been ants out there in some form almost every day.
