Delaware River Report: May 7, 2026

The West Branch at Hale Eddy flow is up slightly from yesterdays rain. The release from Cannonsville is 902 with 53 cfs spilling over the top. We have some color out front but it is fishable. The Beaverkill and East Branch flows bumped more than the West. All of the rivers have peaked and are dropping this morning. We may see the West Branch rise slowly as the spill increases. . Hendricksons, blue quills, olives, apple caddis, Dark Brachycentrus, and March Browns are still in play.

Today will be 57 degrees with sun early and increasing clouds in the afternoon. Wind will be 10 – 15 mph from the North.
