Delaware River Report: June 27, 2025

Cannonsville is spilling 65 cfs. The release from Cannonsville is 801 cfs. The flows are still slowly dropping throughout the system and wading is an option on the West Branch and Upper East Branch. The cooler weather and clouds have helped the water temps but please check them with a thermometer before fishing the Beaverkill, Willowoemoc, Lower East Branch and the Mainstem today. The cloud cover has been a welcome change after the bright sun this past week. Nymphing or swinging wets will be the best bets early. The intensity of the hatches has been variable but patience should pay off. We should see sulphurs, cahills, and Isonychias in the late afternoon / evening. Streamers are still a good bet in low light times.

Today will be 69 degrees with cloudy skies. Wind will be 10 – 15 mph from the South.

Slate Drake – #12-2xl – 12 – Isonychia bicolor

Delaware River Report: June 26, 2025

Cannonsville is spilling 186 cfs. The release from Cannonsville is 801 cfs. The heat is past and today looks like a good day to be on the water. Wunderground is calling for .09″ of rain this afternoon. If we keep the clouds and light rain, but not enough rain to increase the spill, we’re set up for some good fishing conditions over the next few days. The West Branch temp at Stilesville dropped and is 55 degrees this morning. The weather and cooler temps could push the hatches up and we may see bugs earlier in the day. Sulphurs, cahills and Isonychias are still making up the majority of the hatches. Streamers have worked well when the sun hasn’t been beating down on the water. The lower East, Beaverkill, Wiilowemoc, and Maonstem temps are all peaking too high to fish. It’s time to give these rivers a break until they cool back down.

Today will be 77 degrees clouds and a few rain showers in the afternoon. Total rainfall should be .09″. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the South.

What’s Hatching:
Slate Drake – #12-2xl – 12 – Isonychia bicolor
Light Cahill – #14 – Epeorus vitreus (male), Ephemeralla rotunda, Ephemerella invaria

Delaware River Report: June 25, 2025

Cannonsville is spilling 410 cfs. The release from Cannonsville is 1,003 cfs. It’s been a tough couple of days in the heat and bright sun. The water temp at Stilesville is dropping as the spill decreases. The west Branch and Upper East Branch have held on well during the heat wave. The Lower East, Beaverkill, Willowemoc, and Mainstem have all been too hot to fish. It looks like the heat wave ends tomorrow and we may see some rain again. We’re still seeing some sulphurs, cahills, and Isonychias. The change in weather over the next three to four days should push the bugs back to normal.

Today will be 89 degrees with a few clouds. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the North.

What’s Hatching:
Slate Drake – #12-2xl – 12 – Isonychia bicolor

They may cook today over there. Today is going to be another bright, hot day so plan accordingly. Nymphing and streamers early and hopefully a mix of Sulphurs, Cahills, and Isonychias in the evening.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
