Delaware River Report: June 6, 2026

The release from Cannonsville is 500 cfs. We may see some rain showers today with potential for an afternoon thunderstorm but total rainfall should be a negligible .1″. We’ll have some wind to contend with but the clouds will be nice after days of sunshine. Some of the water temps on some river sections are too hot to fish for trout. Some people (including some guides) will say that the Mainstem trout are used to warm temperatures and fishing to them in the high 60’s to 70’s is fine. We have never seen a study proving that and it’s really about greed and shows a total disregard for the resource. Please stick to fishing the colder water sections. Depending on the the river sections March Browns, Gray Fox, Cahills, Green Drakes, olives, and Sulphurs are all in play.

The Mainstem, the East Branch in Hancock, and the Beaverkill at Cooks Falls all peaked over 70 degrees yesterday. It’s time to give these river sections a break until we cool back down.

Today will be 81 degrees with rain showers and a possible afternoon thunderstorms. Wind will be 10 – 20 mph from the South.
