Delaware River Report / Conditions September 29, 2011

Seriously Mother Nature? It’s going to be like this huh?

More stinking rain, and the rivers are starting to rise again. The East Branch system (East, Beaverkill, Willowemoc) are all blown out, and really rising, where the West has just leveled out at “only” 4,200 CFS – needless to say, not wadeable, and might not even be decent for streamer fishing, due to the color of the water. While hopeful they will suddenly drop for the weekend, we are not optimistic.

Isonychia bicolor – Iso/Slate Drake #12-2XL
