Delaware River Report: October 20, 2026

The release from Cannonsville is 150 cfs. The release will remain low while the runoff makes it’s way downriver meeting the Montague flow target. Check the Stilesville gauge link below for the most up to date information. The flow at Hale Eddy is 310 cfs. Today looks exactly like yesterday so the fishing should be the same. We’re mainly fishing small olives. Nymphing and streamers are putting some fish in the net early with the hatches coming in the afternoon / early evening. There are some Isonychias and caddis around – plus a few hebes.

Today will be 68 degrees with plentiful sunshine. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the North.
