Delaware River Report / Conditions September 20, 2011

The fall reservoir spill is officially over! Cannonsville is back down under 100%, so we are now looking at pure release, and the input from various small feeders as well as Oquaga Creek. Temperatures will remain more steady as a result of this, which can only be beneficial for our late season hatching! Today we are expecting clouds and scattered rain, with a high near 70, making this a fantastic BWO day – let’s see if they decide to come out and play!!
