 Beaverkill River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Beaverkill River is a tributary of the East Branch Delaware River, approximately 44 mi (70 km) long, in the U.S. State of New York.
The river has been popular as a trout stream since the early 19th century, when it became one of the first resort destinations in the United States.
The subsequent depletion of the brook trout population by the 1850s led to an early conservation movement to preserve the river, including the introduction of hatcheries for brown trout.

Its main tributaries in New York are the Mongaup and Neversink rivers and Callicoon Creek; from Pennsylvania, the Lackawaxen, Lehigh, and Schuylkill rivers; and from New Jersey, Rancocas Creek and the Musconetcong and Maurice rivers.

Flows on the Delaware are still governed by principles contained in the Supreme Court consent decree signed in 1954 by New York City and the states in the Delaware basin.
On the East Branch and the Neversink, the dams were disastrous, as both rivers received tiny fractions of their natural flows, due to New York City’s preference for using these reservoirs for drinking water and the West Branch’s for meeting the flow target.
Although human demands on the river are considerable, the amount of storage needed to produce profound ecological benefits is relatively small compared to the overall storage capacity of the system.

 New York State Council Trout Unlimited - Delaware River
After years of educating the Delaware River Basin Commission about the multimillion dollar recreational value of the river that is critical to the local economies, and the potential ecological and economic gains of a smarter water release system into these Delaware River tailwaters, we are beginning to see that a real improvement is a reality.
After Cannonsville is drained, the East Branch and the Neversink receive more water, and the West Branch dwindles to the bare legal minimum (almost certainly reduced pursuant to the Delaware River Compact’s drought rules).
Although the Delaware Basin is certainly moving toward drought, the effects of this recent dry period on the West Branch, East Branch, and Neversink will ultimately have been exacerbated by DEP’s strategy for meeting the Montague flow target.

 Border Water Outfitters - Stream Conditions   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The water of the “Upper East” is smaller and runs cooler than that of the “Lower East” due to the proximity to the dam.
The “Lower East” is much wider and has a greater variety of structure than the Upper East and for that reason it has become a favorite among guides for float fishing in spring and early summer when water conditions and temperatures are prime.
The influence of the Beaverkill’s warmer water in summer is another factor that contributes to the warming of the Lower East Branch to temperatures that are not conducive to hatch and feeding activity.

 Friends of the Upper Delaware River Fact Sheet
That FUDR is interested only in the West Branch and upper main stem, and has neglected the East Branch of the Delaware and the Neversink.
It should also be realized, that the upper portions of the East Branch is an existing wild trout fishery and that, in its Mission Statement, FUDR has called for the elimination of stocking on the East Branch, allowing the river to become a wild trout fishery, down to its confluence with the Beaverkill.
FUDR's concern is that it is the short term (a minimum of three, and now perhaps as long as six years) 225 cfs 'experiment' that may destroy the fishery, much of the critical insect populations and render a prolonged negative economic impact to the region.
