Delaware River Report: May 29, 2026

We have sun this morning but should see a few more clouds as the day goes on. Caddis are still a good bet midday and in to the evening. March Browns, Gray Fox, Cahills, Green Drakes, and Sulphurs. Nymphing has been the best bet during the mid afternoon sun but blind casting the bigger bugs could pay off. Dry dropper rigs can also be effective this time of year. The release from Cannonsville is 450 cfs. There is another chance of a stray shower today but total rainfall should be negligible. Yesterday’s rain shower was very brief and soaked in to the ground.

Today will be 73 degrees and partly cloudy in the morning with increasing clouds in the afternoon. Wind will be 10 – 15 mph from the Northwest.
