Delaware River Report: June 4, 2025

Both reservoirs are still spilling. The release from Cannonsville is 600 cfs. There is just under 800 cfs spilling. The Beaverkill has dropped quite a bit so there are lots of wade opportunities there and on the Willowemoc. The tailwaters and Mainstem are dropping slowly and still best fished from a boat. The sun may push the hatches a little later in the afternoon but it may also get some caddis active early in the day. If the caddis stay on the bushes nymphs and streamers should work well until the bugs come. It’s till a big mix of bug hatching so carry a lot of flies. And keep an eye out for spinners in the evening.

Today will be 86 degrees with sun. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the South.

Both reservoirs are still spilling. The release from Cannonsville is 600 cfs. There is 900 cfs spilling. The rivers look good this morning and the tailwaters are at great levels for floating but not for wading yet. The Beaverkill and Willowemoc have wade opportunities and also look good. The hatches have been good with a mix of sulphurs, March Brown, Gray Fox, Cahills,olives, and tan caddis. Some river sections had massive hatches of Dark Blue Sedges (Psilotreta sp) last night. The kind that sounds like rain hitting your windshield. There shouldn’t be any wind today.

Today will be 79 degrees with sun. Wind will be light and variable.

Both reservoirs are still spilling. The release from Cannonsville is 600 cfs. There is 828 cfs spilling. We’re good levels for floating but there is no safe wading on the main rivers today. The Beaverkill is dropping nicely and should offer some wade spots in the next day or two. The West Branch is in good shape this morning with good visibility. Fish were eating yesterday. We have a mix of March Browns, Gray Fox, Sulphurs, Isonychias, Light Cahills, and some Green Drakes on the water. Streamers are working well in the mornings before the hatches. We’ll have more sun today but less wind.

Today will be 70 degrees with a mix of clouds and sun. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the North.

Delaware River Report: June 1, 2025

Both reservoirs are spilling again. The release from Cannonsville is 600 cfs. There is 410 cfs spilling. The spill will increase quite a bit today. The West is high with color but it is fishable from a boat. There are no safe wading options in the system today. It looks like a decent streamer day and there will be bugs in the afternoon. Just find a spot where the fish can set up to eat and be patient. We had decent hatches yesterday while the flows were climbing so there is a possibility. It was just tough to find fish on them.

Today will be 59 degrees with a few morning showers. Wind will be 10 – 15 mph from the North.

We have a steady rain falling that started overnight. The river flows are bumping and some of the feeders are putting some color in to the main rivers. Click on the river gauge links below and watch the radar for the latest information. So this looks like a nymph and streamer day. If the afternoon showers are sparse enough after the main rain ends there may be some hatches if the rivers stay in good shape. But count on streamers and nymphs. If the flows or conditions change dramatically we’ll do an updated post.

Today will be 56 degrees with steady rain this morning and showers in the afternoon. Total rainfall should be .66″. Wind will be 10 – 20 mph from the North.

Delaware River Report: May 30, 2025

The release from Cannonsville is 600 cfs. It looks like we have stopped spilling. We’re looking at another cloudy day with low wind. That should be good for the hatches hopefully pushing them a little earlier in the afternoon. We’re still seeing a great mix of bugs with March Browns, Gray Fox, Sulphurs, Cahills, olives, some Green Drakes, and caddis. It looks like the rain will hold off until dark. We’re seeing varying amounts forecasted so keep an eye on the radar and river gauges tomorrow.

Today will be 72 degrees with an early mix of clouds and sun turning overcast in the afternoon. There is a slight chance of a rain shower. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the West.

The release from Cannonsville is 600 cfs with 53 cfs spilling over the top. The Cannonsville spill is coming to an end so the West Branch is at a great level for both floating and wading. Today looks like another good day with decent cloud cover and low wind. Sulphurs, cahills, March Browns, Gray Fox, some Green Drakes, olives, tan caddis, and dark grannoms are all out there. Fishing has been good with nymphs and streamers early followed by the afternoon hatches. There have been spinner falls on some nights so don’t get off the river too early.

Today will be 69 degrees and overcast. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the South.

Sulphurs, cahills, March Browns, Gray Fox, some Green Drakes, olives, tan caddis, and dark grannoms are all still in play. The weather may push the hatches a little earlier today. Water temps are great and the clouds / light rain should keep the bugs on the water. Nymphing has been working well before the hatches.

Today will be 63 degrees with clouds and rain showers developing. Total rainfall during the day should be .06″. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the South.

The hatches are coming off in the afternoon including a mix of sulphurs, cahills, March Browns, olives, and some Green Drakes, It’s quite a mix out there. We have some rain in the forecast mid week but it doesn’t look like enough to bump the flows.

The release from Cannonsville is 600 cfs with 234 cfs spilling over the top. We had a few showers yesterday but the rivers came through fine again. It was an odd mix of clouds, light rain, sun, and wind. The flows are still dropping slowly and there are plenty of wade and float opportunities throughout the system. It looks like the cooler weather is past us and we should have warmer temps for the next week. Nymphs and streamers are still the go to in the morning. The hatch time has varied a little here and there but plan on being ready by early afternoon. The cloud cover and light rain showers could push them a little earlier.

Today will be 60 degrees, cloudy skies, with a few afternoon showers. Total rainfall over the day should be .02″. Wind will be 10 – 15 mph from the North.
