Delaware River Report: September 6, 2026 #2

The release from Cannonsville is 475 cfs. The rivers look good this morning and the flows have settled down. Olives and flying ants are still the main bugs but there are some Isonychias, Cahills, and hebes around. Blind casting the larger bugs in the riffles can pay off. We’re dealing with bright sun today so streamers will work best before the sun hits the water or after it drops this evening. Nymphs and wets have been putting some fish in the net too.

Today will be 75 degrees with abundant sunshine. Wind will be 5-10 mph from the North.

Dark Blue Wing Olive – #16 – 18 – Baetis vagans
