Delaware River Report: April 24, 2026

We’re still seeing Hendricksons, Blue Quills, Olives, and little black caddis. The hatches are building so it should just get better. Nymphs and streamers are the best bet early with the hatches coming later in the afternoon. It’s early Spring still so there may be spinners mixed in with the duns during the hatch. The release from Cannonsville is 600 cfs and there is 204 cfs spilling over the top. The forecast changes a bit every time we look but we should get 1/2″ or rain tomorrow spread out over the course of the day with more rain coming overnight.

Today will be 62 degrees with sunshine and clouds mixed. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the North.
