Delaware River Report / Conditions April 4, 2017

Posted on April 04 2017

The rain came down hard around 2:30 this morning and the rivers are starting to rise.  The feeder creeks are pumping in a lot of water and half of them seem to be clear while the other half are muddy.  The Beaverkill is climbing quickly so the East Branch should rise significantly by mid day.  There is another 1/4″ of rain in the forecast for today.  Wading is not a good idea on the system but floating is still an option.  People have had some success throwing streamers over the last couple of days.  The rivers have warmed up a few degrees and are in decent shape for early April.  The reservoir inflows are climbing too and we may actually see a spill soon if we continue to get heavy rains every day or two.

 

If the rains keep coming we may see these in the river.  It's been a while
