River Reports
Delaware River Report: July 10, 2022
Today will be another day of sunshine, a high near 80 degrees, and light wind. The water levels are about the same as yesterday and the fishing should also be the same. The colder water sections will have small sulphurs earlier in the day with a mix of Isonychias, a few small olives, and a few Isonychias. The lower river sections will have similar hatching towards dark. Look for areas that get shade earlier in the day. In between hatching swinging wets and nymphing have brought some fish to the net. Typical Summer fishing.
The East Branch at Fishs Eddy, The Beaverkill at Cooks Falls, and the Mainstem at Lordville all peaked close to 70 degrees yesterday. It’s time to give these sections a break until we get cooler temps.

Wunderground is calling for sun early with a few clouds in the afternoon. That sounds like sunny. So the better daytime activity should be on the upper river sections with the coldest water. Small sulphurs, a few cahills, small olives, and Isonychias should cover you. There have been some tan #18 caddis around in the morning. The dry fly action on the other river sections should pick up in the late afternoon / evening as the sun drops. Same bugs as up top. Otherwise nymphing or swining wets in the riffles will be your best bet. It’s also that time of year to blind cast Isonychia or Light Cahill patterns in broken water. We’ll hit 79 degrees with wind 5 – 10 mph from the North.

For daytime dry fly activity look for sulphurs in the coldest river sections with some cahills and Isonychias. Mainly sulphurs. There are a few caddis around in the morning along with some left over spinners in the bigger pools. The lower river sections had some small sulphurs hatching a little earlier than we expected. A few cahills, and small olives were mixed in but it was mainly about the sulphurs down here too. We have cloud cover this morning but that should burn off and turn to sunshine. It’ll hit 82 degrees with wind 5 – 10 mph from the North.

The clouds stuck around longer than expected yesterday. The sun finally popped out in the afternoon but not as much as Wunderground projected. The cloud cover was good for fishing and made being on the water all day a little easier. There aremid afternoon sulphurs in the coldest river sections with some cahills and Isonychias. Caddis are around in the morning along with some left over spinners in the bigger pools. Once the sun drops the lower river sections are seeing some sulphurs, cahills, and small olives. Today should be similar to yesterday except we shouldn’t have any wind. The clouds will burn off in the afternoon and the air temp will hit 80 degrees.

Delaware River Report: July 6, 2022
So far all of the storms have gone around us so the rivers are starting off at pretty much the same flows as yesterday. The water temps did drop a couple of degrees overnight. We have decent cloud cover this morning but we should see some sun in the afternoon. The air temp will hit 78 degrees with wind 5 – 10 mph from the North. We’re seeing some mid afternoon sulphurs in the coldest river sections with some cahills and Isonychias mixed in. A few people are finding some fish on caddis early. The other river sections are seeing the best hatching towards evening.

Delaware River Report: July 5, 2022
Today looks like a good fishing day with some rain coming through this morning totaling .25″. We already have good cloud cover. Wind will be 10 – 15 mph from the south. That’s not ideal but much better than 85 and blazing sunshine. So look for places that will block the wind and it should be fine. Hopefully the rain pushes the olives and sulphurs to hatch a little earlier in the day. Some sections may see fog but the wind should actually help clear that. No real change in hatches so sulphurs, cahills, and olives. Plus some Isonychias.

There was another overnight 100 cfs pulse from Cannonsville to keep the temp at Lordville under 75 degrees. The flow at Stilesville is almost back to 500 cfs and Hale Eddy is dropping. It shouldn’t be noticeable on the West Branch by the time most people start fishing today. Today will be a lot like yesterday but with less wind. The air temp will hit 81 degrees with sunshine. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the North. The best bet for daytime dry fly activity remains on the coldest sections of the rivers. We have bee seeing some Sulphurs mixed with caddis hatching by lunchtime. The lower sections will be nymphing / wet flies early with the best shot of dry fly action in the evening as the sun drops. No real change in hatches so sulphurs, cahills, and olives. Plus some Isonychias.

We had some afternoon thunderstorms that added a bit of water to the Beaverkill and East Branch but had no affect o the West Branch. It’s clear and just under 600 cfs on the lower West this morning. We’ll hit 78 degrees today with sunshine and wind 10 – 15 mph out of the North. The best bet for daytime dry fly activity remains on the coldest sections of the rivers.

Delaware River Report: July 2, 2022
Most of the heavy storms slid south of us last night and the flows are starting close to yesterday’s. There is some light rain falling but not enough to change anything. Total rainfall for the day should be .06″. Hopefully that pushes the hatches a little earlier in the day. Yesterday fished similar to the other days this week with some daytime dry fly activity on the coldest sections of river and evening activity on the lower sections. Sulphurs and cahills are making up the bulk of the flies but there are Isonychias, olives, and a few caddis out there too.

There was a quick pulse of an extra 100 cfs from Cannonsville overnight. This was done to keep the Mainstem at Lordville from hitting 75 degrees. The flow at Stilesville has already dropped back to normal. Yesterday was another sunny so it fished a lot like normal summer conditions. There is some daytime activity on the upper river sections. Mostly sulphurs with a few cahills. The lower West Branch has been good as the sun drops with a mix of sulphurs, cahills, and a few Isonychias. Nymphing and wet flies have worked better midday. Today will be warmer hitting 89 degrees. Hopefully Wunderground is correct and we’ll see cloud cover. Wind will be 10 – 15 mph from the South. There is a slight chance of a stray thunderstorm.

Delaware River Report: June 30, 2022
Yesterday was another sunny day and it fished that way. Nymphing or wets early with most of the hatching happening as the sun dropped. Sulphurs, cahills, and small olives were on the water. A few Isonychias were hatching sporadically so keep an eye out for them too. If you don’t feel like nymphing try blind casting Iso patterns in the riffles. Your best shot at daytime dry fly action on sunny days will be the sections with the coldest water. You will find some sulphurs hatching. Not a super strong hatch yet but some. Today will be 83 degrees, partly cloudy (so sunshine), with wind 5 – 10 mph from the North.
