Delaware River Report: September 14, 2026

The release from Cannonsville is 475 cfs. We had some showers pass through overnight that brought the rivers back up a bit. Some sections of the West Branch are in decent shape for wading this morning. The is some color to the rivers that should start to clear as we drop. Streamers may be the best bet early but there will be tiny olives in the slow foam in the afternoon. The West Branch has a greenish tint to it that is likely the reservoir turning. The fish and bugs don’t mind it and its actually better for streamer fishing

Today will be 67 degrees with some clouds early with mostly sun in the afternoon. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the North.
