Delaware River Report: May 22, 2026

The release from Cannonsville is 450 cfs. The East Branch flow has dropped quite a bit and now all the rivers in the system are wadeable. Caddis are still around in good numbers getting some fish looking up midday. The #14 dark blue sedges are showing up on some rivers. Hendricksons are still hanging on in some river sections with March Browns, Gray Fox, and olives mixed on other sections. Definitely have your sulphur box just in case. Green Drakes can’t be far off. We have some rain starting tomorrow we’ll keep an eye on. Like normal the forecast is different every time we look.

Today will be 67 degrees with some clouds. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the South.
