Delaware River Report: May 10, 2026

It looks like we have more rain than originally forecasted and the river flows are up this morning. The flows have peaked and are dropping but the best wading today will be on the Willowemoc and othe small head water streams. The West will stay higher for a bit because of the spill. The realease is 902 cfs with 155 cfs spilling. The West Branch was off color yesterday afternoon but has cleared up quite a bit and is fishable this morning. Click on the gauge links below for the latest flow data. Hendricksons, Dark Brachycentrus, and March Browns are mixed a bit on some river sections. The colder water sections may still see some blue quills.

Today will be 63 degrees with clouds in the morning partially clearing in the afternoon. We may see a light rain shower. Wind will be 10 – 15 mph from the West.
