Delaware River Report: April 28, 2026

The relase from Cannonsville has been increased to 801 cfs and there is 348 cfs spilling. Yesterday was a beautiful day to be on the water with warm temps, bugs, and fish. The Hendricksons are moving up the system. There are a lot of caddis around along with Blue Quills and olives on some sections. The apple caddis are very heavy on some sections. We’ll have a few more clouds and more wind today but it should fish well again.

Today will be 62 degrees with increasing clouds and a chance of rain showers. Wind will be 10 – 15 mph from the South.
