Delaware River Report: July 14, 2025

Some thunderstorms hit us hard overnight and the rivers are high and off color. The best shot at clear water would be to get close to the dams above the feeder creeks. We have more rain coming today so keep an eye on the radar and click on the gauge links below for the latest flows. We could be set up for some decent streamer fishing for the next couple of days.

The Beaverkill, Lower East Branch, and Mainstem water temps are all peaked in the mid to high 70’s yesterday. It’s time to give these rivers a break until they cool back down.

Today will be 81 degrees with rain showers this morning followed by afternoon thunderstorms. Total rainfall should be .37″. Wind will be light and variable.
