I have fished 300+ days on Boulder Canyon. I love that place. Back when I lived there, I knew the address and phone number of every fish in Boulder Creek. What a great place. Best of all, there was very little fishing pressure.

I got out in Boulder Canyon about a miles west of town to toss flies at fish. Nothing was biting, but I did actually see some fish this time. Beautiful spot!

Very bad news for the Delaware system and bio life.


No Decision yet on Delaware River Reservoir Plan

As of 5pm today, there is still no final outcome for the Delaware River reservoir management plan.

We're told that the Decree Party Principals met this morning and most of the conversation was about the details of a reversion to Revision 1.

We're also told that 4 of the 5 Decree Parties (NY, PA, DE, NYC) have already signed a one-year extension of the current FFMP but New Jersey continues to hold out.

If New Jersey does not sign the one-year extension agreement before midnight tonight, Revision 1 automatically takes effect tomorrow.

Under Revision 1, the release schedule from Cannonsville Reservoir will be:

April 1 - June 14: 45 cfs
June 15 - August 15: 325 cfs
August 16 - October 31: 45 cfs
November 1 - March 31: 33 cfs

The release schedule from Pepacton Reservoir will be:

April 1 - October 31: 70 cfs
November 1 - March 31: 50 cfs

There has been significant rain in the upper watershed and the reservoirs are predicted to spill through the weekend. The spills, the rain, and cool air temperatures may temporarily disguise the impacts of the low releases but their effect will eventually be evident.

Thanks to everybody who made calls, sent emails and wrote letters to your Governor and Decree Party Principal. At the moment, it's difficult to say how well they listened but we can tell you our collective voice was heard.

We will let you know as soon as we hear anything.

Thanks for all your hard work!

For the river,
Jeff Skelding, Executive Director

What a bummer - after reading Skelding's op-ed on Saturday I was hoping (but not hopeful) that the bureaucrats would get their sh!t together

Here's the Op-Ed: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/26/opinion/the-battle-over-water-on-the-upper-delaware.html

On the plus side, looks like I'm heading to NS for some salmon fishing.

Hey guy's recently took over the official khakis account, working my way around style forum and glad to see theres some fisherman on here. Even though I'm a bass fisherman, ill be fly fishing soon enough. Any good tips on gear? I fish g-loomis, phenix, lews, diawa but haven't tapped into fly fishing yet

If you get a strike you can cast at the fish for as long as it takes to smoke a cigarette?

Have you been? Seems like the best salmon fishing deal in the world. $60 cdn for a week license. Guides are $250.

koc - you need to head over to the Sierra if its trout you want. Check out this forum: http://www.kiene.com/forums/index.php
