Delaware River Report: May 22, 2025

The release from Cannonsville is 600 cfs with 272 cfs spilling over the top. As of 6:30 am the river flows are climbing slightly from the rain. They came through yesterday’s rain just fine and the clarity is good. We’ll do an update if things change drastically but click on the gauge links below for the latest river levels. Streamers and nymphs are still the best bets but there were fish landed on dries yesterday. March Browns, Gray Fox, Sulphurs, and some cahills have been on the water.

Today will be 48 degrees, cloudy skies, with rain showers. Total rainfall over the day should be .33″. Wind will be 10 – 15 mph from the South.
