Delaware River Report: August 26, 2022

The release from Cannonsville was increased around midnight. The flow at Stilesville is 907 cfs this morning. So far it looks like it’s leveled off but click the links below for the latest flow information. There are still places to wade at this level- just pick your spots accordingly. Small olives have still been our #1 hatch ith the last of the sulphurs. Blind casting cahills / stenos and Isonychias also put some fish in the net yesterday. It’s the time of year to have flying ants and yellow sallys in your box too. We’ll have decent cloud cover by the afternoon with a chance of showers and thunderstorms. We’ll watch how those storms track. 83 degrees with wind 5 – 10 mph from the South.

The East Branch at Fishs Eddy and the Beaverkill at Cooks Falls both peaked over 70 degrees yesterday. Give these sections a break until we get cooler temps.
