Delaware River Report: May 20, 2026

Today will be cooler with a chance of rain in the morning. Total rainfall should be .12″ and ending by noon. We won’t get enough rain to affect the flows. The flows have dropped and we’re at good levels for floating and wading. The release from Cannonsville is 600 cfs with 2 cfs spilling. Caddis have been around in good numbers getting some fish looking up even in the sunshine. The caddis have really been everywhere, Hendricksons are still on the upper river sections with March Browns, Gray Fox, and olives mixed.

Today will be 77 degrees mostly cloudy with occasional rain. Wind will be 10 – 15 mph from the North.
