River Reports
Delaware River Report: September 6, 2026 #2
The release from Cannonsville is 475 cfs. The rivers look good this morning and the flows have settled down. Olives and flying ants are still the main bugs but there are some Isonychias, Cahills, and hebes around. Blind casting the larger bugs in the riffles can pay off. We’re dealing with bright sun today so streamers will work best before the sun hits the water or after it drops this evening. Nymphs and wets have been putting some fish in the net too.
Today will be 75 degrees with abundant sunshine. Wind will be 5-10 mph from the North.

Delaware River Report: September 6, 2026
The release from Cannonsville is 450 cfs. The rivers are in good shape this morning. The West is at a decent level for floating and wading. The clarity is good. Olives and flying ants should be back on the menu along with some hebes, Isonychias, and Cahills. We’ll see if the high flows flushed the algae out of the Upper West but it’s probably still safer to stick low if you want to nymph or throw streamers. The Beaverkill, Lower East, and Main are still high and off color. They’ll take a couple of days to get back to normal.
Today will be 72 degrees with a mix of clouds and sun. Wind will be 5-10 mph from the North.
