Delaware River Report: July 14, 2024

The release from Cannonsville is 900 cfs. The recording says it will stay at 900 until further notice. They may drop it this morning like they did last week so click on the Stilesville gauge below for the latest information. It’s going to be sunny and hot again today so the best midday dry fly fishing will be close to the dams. Sulphurs, olives, and some Isonychias should make up the bulk of the hatch. Nymphing or wets will be the best bets on the lower West until the sun drops. Sulphurs, olives, Isonychias, and cahills.

Today will be 88 degrees and mostly sunshine. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the North.

The Beaverkill at Cooks Falls, the East Branch at Fishs Eddy, and the Mainstem water temps are all too hot to fish this morning. It’s time to give these rivers a break.
