Hey Jim.
It's currently 1750cfs at Montague and falling.
We're way way way below the 25th percentile for May 14th.
See chart.
Are we going to start receiving directed releases to meet the flow target?

What to do?
What are we to do?

Tony,
If I were you, I would be overjoyed. The low flows will stack those fish up where they will be fish in a barrel for the rooster tails and cleos that you habitually have your clients tossing. I wouldn't shoot a gift horse in the mouth.
How is it that Montague USGS has now fallen below 1750cfs, the NYC reservoirs are 97+% full and the releases haven't increased under the new and imporoved FFMP?
Gee...soon we'll need wheels to travel down the Delaware and then there will be hell to pay with the NPS and Peckham at Frisbie Island!
Isn't the 1750 calculated on some sort of daily average or something?
Are you looking a the Stilesville gauge?

How nice to hear from you Jeff.
Overjoyed?
Well, with the low flows, I certainly don't mind going for smallmouth, walleye and shad (aka - a "mixed bag") since those stretches of river are closer to where I live.
But, maybe you can answer the question:

Tight lines always.
