Delaware River Report: June 23, 2025
Cannonsville is spilling 753 cfs. The release from Cannonsville is 600 cfs. Y rain hit us hard and the rivers are off color. The feeder streams are dropping so we should see the main river flows drop and clear a bit today. Wading is not an option today but the Beaverkill is 956 cfs and should drop enough to offer some options this week. The West Branch is fine for floating.
If anyone lost any equipment last week send us an email at flyfish@thedelawareriverclub.com
Today will be 95 degrees and partly cloudy. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the North.

The release from Cannonsville is 600 cfs. Today looks like a warm one with best chance of rain coming overnight. The river fished well with nymphs yesterday mid day and by afternoon most people were finding dry fly shots. Sulphurs, Cahills, and Isonychias were making up the bulk of the bugs but there were some olives and a few caddis mixed in. Today’s weather may push the bugs a bit later in the day. It’s going to be warm with no wind so have your spinners ready towards dark.
Today will be 85 degrees with a mix of clouds and sun. There is a slight chance of a rain shower. Wind will be light and variable.

The release from Cannonsville is 801 cfs. The spill has ended on both reservoirs. The runoff is subsiding and all the rivers are in good shape this morning. We’re at good levels for wading and floating. The sun may push the hatches back a little again so some light rain and cloud cover would be welcome. Sulphurs, cahills, and Isonychias are making up most of the hatches. Blind casting Isonychias or cahills could payoff too.
Today will be 77 degrees and partly cloudy. There is a slight chance of a rain shower. Wind will be 10 – 20 mph from the North.

Delaware River Report: June 19, 2025
The release from Cannonsville is 801 cfs. The spill has ended on both reservoirs. Some areas got hit with storms yesterday. the West Branch came through just fine and it in good shape for both wading and floating. The Beaverkill is up quite a bit so the lower East is also. Some Mainstem feeder streams were also high and off color yesterday afternoon. The colder water temps have helped the fishing pushing the bugs earlier in the afternoon. The bugs and fishing have been really good in the cold water sections since the spill stopped. Sulphurs, cahills, and Isonychias are making up the bulk of the hatch.
Today will be 82 degrees with a mix of clouds and sun. Total rainfall during the day will be .17″. We may see a few storms pass though. Wind will be 10 – 15 mph from the South.

Delaware River Report: June 18, 2025
The release from Cannonsville is 801 cfs. It looks like the spill has ended on both reservoirs. The rain bumped some of the feeder streams slightly but not enough to be noticeable. Today looks like another good weather day with clouds and some light rain. The water temps dropped a few degrees throughout the system and the West Branch at Stilesville is back where it should be at 45 degrees. Cahills, sulphurs, and Isonychias are making up most of the bugs. Nymphing has been the best bet early but blind casting the riffles has paid off too. The hatches have still been later in the afternoon.
Today will be 79 degrees with cloudy skies and rain showers. Total rainfall during the day will be .07″. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the South.

The release from Cannonsville is 801 cfs. There is 53 cfs spilling. The cooler temps, clouds, lower, spill, and higher release have all helped the water temps. Most of the rivers are starting off a few degrees cooler than yesterday morning. The Beaverkill and some of the feeder streams got a bump from yesterday’s rain but everything is in great shape for mid June. Today looks like another good weather day for fishing. The cloud cover and light rain have been nice. Nymphing and streamers are still the go to during the day but blind casting Isonychias and cahills has paid off. The hatching has been late in the day / evening but that may shift a little today with cooler water and light rain showers.
Today will be 67 degrees with cloudy skies an rain showers. Total rainfall during the day will be .14″ with an additional .23″ coming overnight. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the South.

Delaware River Report: June 16, 2025
The release from Cannonsville is 600 cfs. There is 189 cfs spilling. The spill is slowly coming to an end giving us decent water to float along with more wade opportunities. There’s a little rain in the forecast this week but nothing like we saw over the past month. The cloud cover is great. Streamers and nymphs have worked well early with the hatches coming later in the evening. There have been some caddis active earlier if you’re in the right spot at the right time. We’re also at the time of year and water levels when blind casting Isonychas and Cahills can work well.
Today will be 69 degrees with cloudy skies. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the South.

Both reservoirs are still spilling. The release from Cannonsville is 600 cfs. There is 330 cfs spilling. We woke up to some light rain that should amount to nothing. The cloud cover is good and the water temps are starting a couple of degrees lower than yesterday morning. Sulphurs, Cahills, and Isonychias are making up most of the mayflies. The hatches have been later with the warmer water temps. We’ve had sporadic caddis in the mornings offering some dry fly shots. Nymphs and streamers have been the best bets midday.
Today will be 66 degrees with rain showers early. Wind will be light and variable.

Both reservoirs are still spilling. The release from Cannonsville is 600 cfs. There is 467 cfs spilling. The water temp at Stilesville dropped again overnight but it is still colder at Hale Eddy. We woke up to good fishing weather with light rain and no wind. Total rainfall should b negligible. The cooler air temps, lack of sun, and lower spill should help drop the water temps a few degrees. Hopefully that will push the bugs a little earlier. Cahills and Isonychias have put fish in the net along with caddis. There are still some sulphurs around too.
Today will be 63 degrees with couds and rain showers. Total rainfall should be .18″. Wind will be light and variable.

As the spill lessens the water temp will drop. Nymphs, streamers and wets are still the best bets during the day. There are some caddis around that may offer some sporadic dry fly fishing early but most of the bugs are coming late or early in the morning. We’re hitting the time of year when blind casting Isonychias or cahills in the riffles could pay off. We should have a few days of clouds starting tomorrow without much rain.
Today will be 77 degrees with sun. Wind will be light and variable.

As the spill lessens the water temps will drop more. Today will look a lot like yesterday except the wind will be out of the North. Nymphs, wets, and streamers will be the best bets early. Sulphurs, cahills, and caddis should make up the bulk of the bugs. And definitely have some Isonychias. The hatches have continued to be later in the evening and even in the dark. The weekend forecast keeps changing but the latest has a little rain over the weekend but not too much. The cloud cover and light rain should be good for the hatches.
Today will be 79 degrees with sun and clouds mixed. Wind will be 10 – 15 mph from the North.
