Delaware River Report: May 14, 2026

The rain held off most of the day with much of it coming after dark. It looks like we got more than the .3 predicted and the river flows are up this morning. Most rivers are still climbing as of 6:15 am. Click on the gauge links below for the latest flow data. The release from Cannonsville is 902 cfs with 212 cfs spilling. If you’re wading check the flows on the Willowemoc, East Branch above the Beaverkill, and other headwater streams. This could be a decent streamer day if the rivers get some color. Hendricksons are hatching on some sections along with caddis and Hendrickson spinners. Dark Brachycentrus, Gray Fox, and March Browns are out on other river sections. Blue quills are even hanging on in some parts of the river.

Today will be 55 degrees with clouds and a slight chance of a rain shower. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the North.
