Delaware River Report: June 1, 2024

The release from Cannonsville was bumped slightly to 500 cfs. This is the normal flow for June 1 under the FFMP and has nothing to do with the potential aqueduct work. Today will be warmer, sunny, with no wind. That should get the caddis out so watch the riffle or sporadic risers. We also had some midday sulphurs yesterday and that may happen again. The spinners have been decent in the evening on some sections so don’t leave the river too early. There are a lot of different bugs hatching right now so bring all of your boxes.

Today will be 79 degrees with lots of sunshine. Wind will be light and variable.
