WB & main stem Delaware - May 24 - 27

The flow at Hale Eddy from May 17 - 20 was around 1050 cfs on the 17th and still about 620 cfs on the 20th. The water temperature was 49 - 56.5 degrees. That is a big difference than the conditions I encountered on May 24 - 27.

The flow at Hale Eddy during the May 24 - 27 time period was about 410 cfs down to 380 cfs and the water temperature was 57-61 degrees. Where I was fishing closer to the Route 191 bridge the water temperature hit 66 degrees according to data on the DRC blog.
and even the lower West Branch hit 66 degrees.
 
I was up from 28th-1st and the BK and Upper East were on fire early mornings and a late blitz around 8:45 to 9pm. Monday night the 30th I have never seen so many coffins in my life. Was picking them out of my waders the next morning. Temps I took on the BK and Upper East hovered around 68F.
