Delaware River Report: July 23, 2026

The release from Cannonsville is 500 cfs. We had a few odd rain showers yesterday morning but everything is dropping back to normal and the rivers look good. We’re clear and at a good level for floating and wading. The daytime sulphurs are hatching in Deposit mixed with some olives and a few Isonychias. Smaller seems to be better. Stick to the lower West if you want to nymph. The algae has been bad up top making it a dry fly only game.

Today will be 75 degrees and sunny. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the North.
