Delaware River Report: June 26, 2026

The release from Cannonsville is 500 cfs. We had some rain in the evening that was heavy for an hour or so. The West Branch got most of the rain but the levels are dropping and safe to wade. There’s a little color in the system but that should clear quickly. If the clouds stick around today, we could see hatching mid day. Bring all your summer favorites: sulphurs, Cahills, Isonychias, olives, and some caddis.

Today will be 81 degrees and cloudy. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the West.
