December 13, 2010 - Avg Precip Year
When it is all said and done this year will go down most likely
as a 'normal' precip year - - despite what we remember as a hot
and dry summer. Low and warm water shut down quite a few trout
streams early in the season, not much after the sulphurs. Then
as the summer moved on the DRBC
started directed releases from most of the larger reservoirs within
the Delaware
River watershed. In fact Beltzville
was drawn down about 15' or so, but has now filled back to conservation
pool level. Cannonsville got down to about 40% or so, and ran
very dirty, but it too is back to its preferred
elevation level.
Small waters are at a nice level right now. So if you are one
who likes the cold, you'll find some good color, and flows for
the sub-surface stuff!
