Delaware River Report / Conditions April 14, 2021

It’s 35 degrees this morning but should warm up to the mid 60’s by the afternoon.  We should see a mix of clouds and sun with a slight possibility of afternoon showers.  Wind will be 5 – 10 from the South.  This should be a good day to be on the water.  The olive hatches have been better on overcast and rainy days.  Nymphing and streamers will be your best bet early.  The runoff from Sunday and Mondays rain is working it’s way down the system and our rivers flows have dropped slightly and are looking good
