Delaware River Report: July 11, 2025

The release from Cannonsville has been increased to 750 cfs. The West Branch is in great shape and the cloud cover is a bonus. The midday Sulphurs are on the upper river sections along with some olives, Cahills, and Isonychias. Nymphing should be good on the lower West today with the clouds. Blind casting Isonychias or Cahills in the riffles is an option all Summer. Yesterday’s thunderstorms and showers missed us.

The Beaverkill, Lower East Branch, and Mainstem water temps are all peaked in the mid to high 70’s yesterday. It’s time to give these rivers a break until they cool back down.

Today will be 86 degrees with considerable cloudiness. There is a chance of a stray shower or thunderstorm. Wind will be light and variable.

Delaware River Report: July 10, 2025

Some river sections have heavy fog this morning but that should burn off in the next hour or two. We’re looking at another normal July day so head to the coldest water for the midday Sulphur hatches. There should be some Isonychias, Cahills, and olives mixed in as well. The lower West will fish best with nymphs and wets. Blind casting Isonychias in the riffles would work for people who don’t want to nymph. We may some some sulphurs in the evening – especially if we et clouds and some stray rain showers.

We had a little lightening and a rain shower last night but the river flows barely bumped and everything looks fine this morning. We are seeing the midday sulphurs in the coldest river sections along with some Isonychias, olives, and Cahills. The lower West is in good shape for nymphing, swinging wets, or blind casting Isonychias. We’ve settled into the normal July fishing. The hatches on the lower West are towards dark with the same bugs as up top.

Delaware River Report: July 7, 2025

The release from Cannonsville has been cut back a bit to 549 cfs. Our power is back on. Look for the coldest water for a shot at dry fly fishing during the day. There have been some sulphurs and a few isonychias in the afternoon. The lower sections of river that are still cold enough to fish may have some bugs in the evening as the sun drops. So we’re in normal July fishing. Blind casting Cahills or Isonychias may pay off along with nymphing or swinging wets. Look for [laces that get shade earlier in the day. We do cool down and we should have more clouds as we come in to the weekend.

The release from Cannonsville is 600 cfs and the spill has stopped. Yesterday’s rain bumped the flow at Hale Eddy about 100 cfs but it shouldn’t be noticeable and is already dropping. Most of the rain slid north of us. We’ll have a bit more sun today so blind casting Isonychas and Cahills in the riffles or nymphing and swinging wets would be a good start early. The Sulphurs, Cahills, and Isonychias should hatch later in the day in to the evening and dark. Look for banks that get shade earlier in the day.

Blind casting Isonychias or Cahills in the riffles could pay off.
