With no dams or impediments on the river&#8217;s Main Stem, the Delaware is one of the few remaining large free-flowing rivers in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The watershed encompasses five US states &#8211; New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware. It&#8217;s bodies of water provide drinking water to 17 million people &#8211; roughly 6% of the population of the US. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the early 1960&#8217;s, the West Branch of the river was impounded in Stilesville by the Cannonsville Dam, and the East Branch in Downsville by the Pepacton Dam. Both of these dams respectively created a tailwater fishery on the West Branch, East Branch and Main Stem &#8211; ensuring that the waters remain cold and creating a superb cold water trout habitat. The influence of the cold tailwater releases can be felt as far downstream as Calicoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"510\" src=\"https:\/\/tunesandties.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Image-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1021\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tunesandties.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Image-1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/tunesandties.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Image-1-300x239.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">(See below for full-size photos)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rising in two branches in the Catskill Mountains, the Delaware River flows 419 miles into Delaware bay where it&#8217;s waters enter the Atlantic Ocean.
