Delaware River Report: June 20, 2026

The release from Cannonsville is 500 cfs. Today looks like it will be very similar to yesterday but with a few more clouds. The wind will be up druing the day again but the hourly shows it dropping towards dark. Nymphing or swinging wets will probably be the best bets during the day. We’re in the time of year when blind casting Isonychias or Cahills in the riffles could payoff early. The evening hatches have been a mix of sulphurs, Cahills, Isonychias,olives, and some caddis.

Today will be 75 degrees with mix of sunshine and clouds. Wind will be 10 – 20 mph from the North.

Delaware River Report: June 18, 2026

The release from Cannonsville is 500 cfs. A little light rain is falling this morning but it won’t be enough to affect the flows. We’ll have some sun and wind to deal with but the wind drops in the afternoon / evening. The sulphurs and Isonychias were decent yesterday afternoon but the fish didn’t get really happy until the sun dropped. Cahills, olives, and some tan caddis are around too.

Delaware River Report: June 15, 2026

The release from Cannonsville is 500 cfs. We had some storms pass through that bumped the river flows a bit but we are already dropping back to normal this morning. The West Branch is off color but should begin to clear as the flow drops back to normal. Today is going to be much cooler than we’ve seen lately but we get some wind in exchange. Cahills, olives, and caddis are making up the main hatches. The sulphurs have been decent on some river sections in the evening and have even surprised us earlier in the day a few times this week. Nymphing or swinging wets have been the best bets during the day. Blind casting Isonychias or Cahills in the riffles could put a few fish in the net.

The Mainstem, the East Branch in Hancock, and the Beaverkill at Cooks Falls all peaked over 70 degrees again yesterday. It’s time to give these river sections a break until we cool back down.

Today will be 66 degrees and artly cloudy. Wind will be 10 – 20 mph from the North.

Delaware River Report: June 12, 2026

The release from Cannonsville is 500 cfs. We had a few storms push through last night. The river flows bumped slightly but not enough to really matter. The river flows are already dropping back. We may see a few more storms today so keep an eye on the radar. Wonderground is putting the total rainfall around .3″. Cahills, olives, and caddis are all around in some numbers. The sulphurs have been decent on some river sections in the evening. The cloud cover and rain (if we get it) could push some of the hatches earlier.

The Mainstem, the East Branch in Hancock, and the Beaverkill at Cooks Falls all peaked at or over 70 degrees again yesterday. It’s time to give these river sections a break until we cool back down.

Delaware River Report: June 11, 2026

The release from Cannonsville is 500 cfs. Most of the rain in yesterday’s forecast slid around us. Looking at Wunderground today it looks like it may do that again. We’ll have cloud cover with potential afternoon storms but total rainfall should only be .16″. The evening sulphurs have been the main hatch along with some Cahills, olives, and caddis. If you’re closer to the dams in the cold water you may still see some drakes.

Some of the water temps on some river sections are too hot to fish for trout. Some people (including some guides) will say that the Mainstem trout are used to warm temperatures and fishing to them in the high 60’s to 70’s is fine. We have never seen a study proving that and it’s really about greed and shows a total disregard for the resource. Please stick to fishing the colder water sections.

Delaware River Report: June 10, 2026

The release from Cannonsville is 500 cfs. We should see some cloud cover this afternoon with a chance of showers. Total rainfall should only be .03″ but the clouds will be a welcome change. The sulphurs were decent last night once the sun dropped a bit. March Browns, Gray Fox, Green Drakes, and Cahills are around on some river sections. We’re still seeing some tan caddis in the riffles. Hopefully they get active a little earlier in the day with the cloud cover. Blind casting midday did put some fish in the net yesterday but nymphing is still the best bet early. We should see some much needed rain overnight and tomorrow but not enough to affect the river flows. The West Branch is at a decent level for floating or wading. The East Branch above the Beaverkill is too low to float.

Some of the water temps on some river sections are too hot to fish for trout.

Delaware River Report: June 9, 2026

The release from Cannonsville is 500 cfs. It’s going to be another bright sunny so the best shot at dry fly fishing will be early or late in the day. Green Drakes are moving up the system along with sulphurs and Cahills. There are still some March Browns and Gray Fox in the colder river sections. If you’re set on dries all day blind casting the bigger bugs in the riffles would be a good bet. Dry and dropper rigs are working too. Nymphing has offered the best opportunities midday.
