Delaware River Report: July 24, 2026

The release from Cannonsville is 500 cfs. The air temps will be in the 80’s for the next few days but the nighttime temos are staying surprisingly cool. The West Branch is 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 82 degrees and sunny. Wind will be light and variable.
