Delaware River Report: May 29, 2025

The release from Cannonsville is 600 cfs with 53 cfs spilling over the top. The Cannonsville spill is coming to an end so the West Branch is at a great level for both floating and wading. Today looks like another good day with decent cloud cover and low wind. Sulphurs, cahills, March Browns, Gray Fox, some Green Drakes, olives, tan caddis, and dark grannoms are all out there. Fishing has been good with nymphs and streamers early followed by the afternoon hatches. There have been spinner falls on some nights so don’t get off the river too early.

Today will be 69 degrees and overcast. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the South.
