Delaware River Report: May 24, 2025

The release from Cannonsville is 600 cfs with 234 cfs spilling over the top. The rivers are in great shape and the recent light rains have been a bonus. Wading and floating are possible. We had good hatches yesterday with sulphurs, cahills, and some March Browns mixed in. Streamers and nymphs are working well before the hatches start. Today looks similar to yesterday with decent cloud cover and light rain. We’ll have a bit more wind but conditions look good.

Today will be 53 degrees, cloudy skies, with periods of light rain. Total rainfall over the day should be .07″. Wind will be 10 – 15 mph from the North.
