Lordville hit almost 26 degrees C over the last two days. That's 78 to 79 degrees fahrenhite. While I don't think there is enough water in the system to cool the river all the way down to Lordville, that is extreme. Temps of 77 degrees are lethal to trout.
Based up the Hancock gauge and water temps coming out of the East Branch, Junction was probably around 23 degrees C. Thats roughly 73.5 degrees F. No themal refuge there.
Meanwhile Cannosville and Peapacton are at 87% and 90% capacity.
Anyone still think the new flow rules are not a significant detriment to the fishery? An unessary detriment!
