Delaware River Report / Conditions July 29, 2015
Today looks like a bright hot one. Accuweather is calling for sun and a high air temperature of 90 degrees. The 1500 release from Cannonsville will protect the West Branch and upper Mainstem. Both have been fishing well regardless of the weather. The fish will be a little shy with the bright sun so look for shaded banks or hopefully a stray cloud or two will come through in the afternoon. The hatches remain the same with sulphurs, olives, isonychias, and cahills. The amount of each mayfly changes depending on the river section you’re fishing but carry them all. The lower East Branch is too warm to fish with water temperatures starting off at 68 degrees this morning.
Tomorrow’s weather looks a little better for fishing with some stray thunderstorms in the morning and again in the afternoon. Air temps should drop back to the low 80’s.

The cold water continues on the West Branch keeping the Upper Mainstem in decent shape. The upper sections of the branches are seeing the normal sulphur and small olive hatches while cahills, isonychias, and olive are dominating the lower sections. We are still seeing a few golden drakes being taken in sections so definitely carry a few in your box on the lower WB and Main. The release from Pepacton has been cut back again. The current flow at Downsville is 191 cfs. The low release, sun, and warm air temperatures has caused the lower East Branch to warm up. Fishs Eddy peaked at 70 degrees yesterday. Stick to the upper EB, the upper Main, and the entire West Branch over the next few days as we go through this heat wave.

Delaware River Report / Conditions July 27, 2015
Last nights brief showers turned out to be a little more than Accuweather forecasted. The West Branch flows only budged slightly at Hale Eddy but the Beaverkill is now flowing at 695 cfs this morning. The release from Cannonsville remains 1,499 cfs of cold water water. The fishing has been decent (better than May) with the normal sulphur / olive fishing up top and cahills / isonychia fishing on the lower sections. The release from Pepacton has been reduced and the flow is now 378 cfs at Harvard. The cut back of cold water from Pepacton has caused the lower sections of the East Branch to warm up. Fishs Eddy is 66 degrees this morning and will be too warm to fish today. The Upper East, Upper Mainstem, and entire West Branch should remain cool despite the sun and higher air temperatures forecasted for the next few days.

Delaware River Report / Conditions July 26, 2015
We started off yesterday with bright sun but the clouds made their appearance a little earlier than expected by mid-afternoon. The fishing improved once the harsh sun was gone and we had a decent mix of olives, cahills, and sulphurs on some sections of river. The upper sections continue to get the mid-day sulphurs followed by small olives. Isonychias are still working well along with golden drakes in some sections.
We had some rain over that with some light precipitation still coming down this morning. So far the rivers look clear. Most of the rain should soak into the ground since we’ve been dry for a while. If we start to see color in the rivers we’ll post a mid-day update. They are calling for less than a tenth of an inch today so we should be fine. The light rain hitting the cold water is causing some fog on the West Branch and Upper Mainstem. The fog should come in and out as the light bands of weather hit us. The heavy fog in the morning has made early streamer fishing productive.

We had the bright sun all day yesterday making the fish shy for most of the day. Once the sun dropped the bugs came and the fish responded. In some sections the hatch seemed to be comprised mostly of olives with a few isonychias and sulphurs thrown in for good measure. The upper sections had the normal mid-day sulphurs followed by the olives. The fish were shy about eating the isonychias until the sun dropped behind the mountains. Accuweather is calling for another bright sunny day with temperatures in the low 80’s. We may see a stray thunderstorm in the late afternoon with just a small amount of precipitation.

Delaware River Report / Conditions July 24, 2015
The hatches started a little later yesterday due to the bright sun but most of the system had some kind of decent activity by mid-afternoon into evening. The upper river sections have more sulphurs and olives while the lower / warmer river sections have more cahills, isonychias, and golden drakes. Streamer fishing has been productive early in the morning before the fog burns off. The high cold water has really benefited the system after the low water Spring. The fish are healthy and full of energy. Many of the July hatches on the lower sections of river usually occur at night due to warmer water temperatures. This season we are seeing those hatches during the day because the cold releases and cool nights are keeping the system cold all the way down to Callicoon. It’s been a nice side benefit to the repair situation at Cannonsville Dam. It sounds like we should see the higher releases at least for another 3 to 4 weeks.

The sulphurs came in the upper river sections but the bright sun made the fish a little wary. Swinging small pheasant tail wets was the best way to fool the fish eating the emergers a couple of inches under the surface. Things were a little later in other sections but once the sun dropped a bit the fishing picked up. We had very little fog on the river yesterday which was a nice change. Since so many fish were eating emergers underneath we did do better with isonychia emergers rather than duns. Patience was definitely the name of the game.
Accuweather is calling for sun, light winds, and slightly cooler temperatures today. Look for fish on shaded banks and on the edges of rippled current where they feel more comfortable rising in the sun. Sulphurs, isonychias, and small olives. If you are on the Mainstem add the golden drakes to your box.

Yesterday showed us quite a mix of weather with hot sun, cool rain, more sun, and heavy winds turning into a slight breeze. After the rain ended we had a lot of fog to deal with on the West Branch but there were plenty of isonychias and olives hatching mixed with a few sulphurs. I would probably describe yesterday as one of the better hatching days of the season. Accuweather is calling for air temperatures pushing 80 degrees today and lots of sun. The bright sun may push the hatches off for a couple of hours to later in the afternoon. No rain in today’s forecast so the fog should be less of an issue.

There are some issues with the Hale Eddy gauge this morning but not much has changed on the system. The release from Cannonsville remains 1500 cfs and the flows on the rest of the system are dropping slowly as the runoff from the feeders subsides. Despite the hot weather the river temperatures remain in great shape. They are beginning to creep up on the lower East Branch and all the way down in Callicoon but so far they have stayed below 70 degrees. Accuweather is calling for a healthy mix today with some clouds and light rain giving way to sun, giving way back to clouds and light rain. Due to the cold water some sections of river may have heavy fog at times due to the warmer rain. Winds are predicted to be 6 mph with gusts to 9 mph in the afternoon which should help clear the fog. Isonychias, sulphurs, olives, and golden drakes are still on the menu.

The afternoon thunderstorms we have been getting have added just a little bit more water to the current flows so expect the rivers to drop slightly throughout the day. The bugs have been coming later on bright, sunny days but there have been some fish feeding sporadically in the shaded areas on left over mayflies and caddis. Water temperatures are in great shape for mid July despite the sun and heat over the last few days. Callicoon peaked at 66 degrees yesterday but is starting off higher this morning. The upper Mainstem should be fine with the Cannonsville release cooling it down. We did find fish eating golden drakes yesterday so definitely carry a few- plus the spinners for dark. Sulphurs, isonychias, and cahills are making up most of the rest of the menu.

Delaware River Report / Conditions July 19, 2015
Last evening we had some brief thunderstorms that added a little water to the system and plenty of fog. The water temperatures throughout look great this morning and most of the rivers besides the West Branch remain wadeable. Floating is the best bet on the West Branch and opens up a lot of opportunities with the cold water down the Mainstem. Upper river sections are still fishing well with sulphurs while the lower river sections are seeing more cahills and isonychias.
Accuweather is calling for today to be a warmer version of yesterday. Some clouds in the morning giving way to sun, with some afternoon / early evening thunderstorms. Winds should be 5 mph with gusts to 8 mph. Light but hopefully still enough of a breeze to blow some of the fog off the rivers.

The 1,500 cfs release from Cannonsville combined with the cool nights and cloud cover have kept the water temperatures in great shape for most of the Mainstem. The cold water has really kicked up the afternoon hatches with sections fishing well much earlier in the day than normal in July. The summer sulphur hatch has been decent on the upper river sections while isonychias, cahills, and olives have been the ticket on the lower sections. We are also still seeing decent numbers of golden drakes hatching in sections with fish eating them.
Today looks like a decent fishing day with Accuweather calling for air temps around 80, light wind, and a mix of clouds and sun. We may get a light, stray shower or two. Due to the cold water release we are seeing fog on the river, especially when it rains. A slight breeze will move it along and bring back normal visibility.
