Delaware River Report: May 27, 2026

Today will look a like like yesterday with bit more wind. The Hendricksons are pretty much done but you may find some Xs and spinners in the colder water near the dams. A lot of the fish being landed have been eating caddis. March Browns, Gray Fox, Cahills, and Sulphurs are around. A few Green Drakes are showing up on some sections. The release from Cannonsville is 450 cfs. We’re at a good level for floating and wading.

Today will be 83 degrees and partly cloudy. Wind will be 10 – 15 mph from the Northwest.
