  Delaware River
The Delaware River is a river on the Atlantic coast of the United States.
Its main tributaries in New York are Mongaup[?] and Neversink rivers[?] and Callicoon Creek[?]; from Pennsylvania, Lackawaxen[?], Lehigh[?], and Schuylkill rivers[?]; and from New Jersey, Rancocas Creek[?] and Musconetcong[?] and Maurice rivers[?].
A canal from Trenton to New Brunswick, called the Delaware & Raritan Canal, unites the waters of the Delaware and Raritan rivers; the Morris and the Delaware and Hudson canals connect the Delaware and Hudson rivers; and the Delaware and Chesapeake canal joins the waters of the Delaware with those of the Chesapeake Bay.

 Delaware River Foundation - About Us
The Delaware River Foundation is a coalition of anglers, citizens, towns and conservation organizations which have united to improve the habitat and water flow rates in the Upper Delaware River and its tributaries.
The miles of river between the dams and Montague, New Jersey are left to suffer.
At present, these rivers receive a fraction of the water flow they did before New York City dammed them to supply drinking water: the East Branch of the Delaware and the Neversink River receive only 30% and 20% respectively, of the average annual flow they did before the dams were built.

 Delaware River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A historical oddity, the Delaware-New Jersey Border is actually at the New Jersey river shoreline within the Twelve-Mile Circle of New Castle, rather than the usual mid river or mid channel borders.
The Delaware and Raritan Canal, which runs along the New Jersey side of the Delaware River from Milford to Trenton, unites the waters of the Delaware and Raritan rivers as it empties the waters of the Delaware River via the canal outlet in New Brunswick.
There were, however, villages and towns across the river in Pennsylvania that were already using the Delaware for their water supply.

 Nature Field Guide :: Nature Project Profiles :: Neversink River, New York
The river where American fly fishing was born is today the scene of maverick approaches to managing freshwater ecosystems for both human and ecological needs.
Although the river’s gurgling waters are still a mecca for fly fishers from all over the world, many of the pools where Gordon fished were drowned in the 1950s behind the Never-sink Reservoir Dam.
With more than 80 percent of the river’s flow pumped to New York City (it is considered the metropolis’ purest source of drinking water), we are now working to develop a model for ecologically sustainable water management throughout the Delaware River Basin, one that balances human needs with those of freshwater ecosystems.

 Neversink River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Neversink's main flow begins just south of the border between Ulster and Sullivan counties, where the east and west branches of the river join near the hamlet of Claryville.
In addition to rainbow trout, brown trout, and brook trout, the river is home to other fish species such as smallmouth bass, carp, sucker, bluegill, American eel, and a diverse range of flora and fauna.
The river is mostly navagable with small watercraft from near its dam in Hasbrouck to its mouth, however, it is seldom traveled.

 River Trail
From the trail along River Road you can see a stone pier in the center of the river, the remnant of a railroad bridge built in the late 19th century in an effort to connect the Pennsylvania towns of Milford and Matamoras with Port Jervis and the Erie main line.
The bridge was ultimately destroyed by the force of the river in the early years of the 20th century.
As you look out on the river from the dike you will see a ledge in the river known as "Sim's Clip," named for Simon Westfall whose circa 1740 stone house is located across the river in Matamoras, Pennsylvania, just southwest of the ledge.

Approaching the "Gorge" area, the river picks up more gradient and most of the fishing is done in pocket water.

During the early 1800's, New York and other cities were dependent on wood and imported bituminous (soft) coal for their energy needs.
Early canal locks were the balance beam type, seventy-six feet long and nine feet wide, and could accommodate twenty-five to thirty ton boats.
While there were many very small aqueducts along the canal route, originally there were only two major aqueducts over the Neversink River and Rondout Creek.

 New York State Council Trout Unlimited - Delaware River
NYSCTU seeks to protect and enhance the thermal ecological health and habitat of the entire Upper Delaware River system, with particular focus on the tailwater fisheries of the East Branch, West Branch, Neversink River, and Upper Mainstem, using the best data available to support its advocacy for scientific based management of flows and releases.
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).

Delaware River's main, east and west branches and the Neversink River support large populations of trout that attract an estimated 55,000 anglers each year, contributing more than $17.7 million to the area economy, officials said.
Since July, the Delaware River basin has experienced the lowest flows recorded in more than 20 years because water releases usually required to meet the established flow objective of 1,810 cubic feet per second were not needed and the cool temperatures negated the need to release water for thermal conditions.
The Delaware River Basin Commission was authorized by Congress in 1961 to oversee water-management issues in the Delaware and Neversink rivers and the surrounding area.

What is now the River Road in New Jersey was probably a part of their main highway in the first half of the last century (may possibly have been the mine read).
About midway of the river, in the deepest water of the ford, about up to the mare's belly, he quietly touched the animal in the flank with his heel and the mare's heels flew up and the riders landed in the river, fortunately on their feet, and the mare ran away.
At that time the inhabitants along and many miles back from the Neversink were occupied in clearing their lands and establishing homes and they relied upon lumbering as an important help in securing the necessities of life.

The Neversink River may not be the most productive trout river, but it is certainly the most historic.
Situated roughly 100 miles north of the George Washington Bridge, the Neversink was fished extensively during the early 1900s by historical anglers like Theodore Gordon, inventor of dry flies like the Quill Gordon, and Edward Hewitt, inventor of the Bivisible.
The Neversink is fed by tailwater releases so it stays cool all summer long and its water clarity is not as affected by rainfall as the Beaverkill, Willowemoc or other neighboring trout rivers.
