Delaware River Report / Conditions September 27, 2021

The release from Cannonsville is still around 1,400 cfs this morning.  Wading is still not recomended on the tailwaters or Mainstem but there is some wadeable water over on the Beaverkill and Willowemoc.  The river flows are dropping very slowly.  Nymphs and streamers are working early but we are finding dry fly shots in the afternoon in some pools.  Mostly small olives with some heptagenias and isonychias mixed in.  We may see a rain shower this morning but the amount of precipitation should be negligible.  The cloud cover will be good.  Wind 10 – 15 mph from the South.
