Delaware River Report / Conditions September 20, 2020

The release from Cannonsville has been dropped back a bit leaving the flow 350 cfs at Stilesville.  There’s another good frost this morning but we should warm up to 60 degrees today.  Mostly sunny with wind 6 mph from the North.  It sounds a lot like yesterday.  Once the olives and hebes got going people were finding fish rising by mid afternoon.  Today should fish a lot like yesterday.

We’re beginning to see a bit of cloudiness in the West Branch from the release.  The cloudiness will increase if they raise the release.  It happens every Fall when the reservoir begins to turn over.
