delaware river question

[bunker dunker]

how bad do you think todays rain will effect the river?? will it be fishable for shad tomorrow morning or should i wait a few days??

This drizzle will end soon! If the river goes up it's only gona go up a couple inches. Your good to go man! Rivers in great shape and the Shad are waiting!:D

Some of the NWS gauges have hydrograph predictions.

Looks like it will be up about a 1 foot which will move the fish closer to the shoreline. I'll be out Sat afternoon North of the Gap. Good reports have been coming in.

Have to look at the river as a whole, even the releases from the reservoirs up in NY. They just got a lot of rain up there and the lakes are at bank full.

Any heavy rain will take 24 hrs for River to rise , say it rained hard up,north then a day later it would rise locally . Rain we just expierenced will not create much of a difference , I really don't mind if it's high but what I look for is water clarity this can hurt ur efforts .
Going over it yesterday , it was fine just about right !
