Delaware River Report: September 4, 2022

The release from Cannonsville has been dropped and the flow at Stilesvilleis 363 cfs this morning. Likely NYC DEP is counting on rain over the next two days tomeet the Montague flow target. We had a little rain overnight but just enough to wet the dust. We’ll have clouds this morning with scattered thunderstorms. Total rainfall today should be .09″ according to Wunderground. We may see more overnight and tomorrow. 82 degrees with light and variable wind. Small olives have still been our #1 producer. Definitely have your cahill / stenos, Isonychias, small sulphurs, and flying ants with you.

The East Branch at Fishs Eddy and the Beaverkill at Cooks Falls both peaked over 70 degrees yesterday. Give these sections a break until we get cooler temps.
