Delaware River Report: May 26, 2025

The release from Cannonsville is 600 cfs with 240 cfs spilling over the top. It’s not supposed to rain today. The rivers continue to drop slowly and there are wade and float opportunities throughout the system. Nymphs and streamers are still working well early in the day. The hatches are coming off in the afternoon including a mix of sulphurs, cahills, March Browns, olives, and some Green Drakes, It’s quite a mix out there. We have some rain in the forecast mid week but it doesn’t look like enough to bump the flows.

Today will be 70 degrees with cloudy skies. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the North.

If anyone lost some rods this weekend send us an email flyfish@thedelawareriverclub.com
