Delaware River Report / Conditions April 9, 2021

The release from Cannonsville was dropped yesterday afternoon and sits at 671 cfs this morning.  It’s going to be cooler today with the air temp hitting 63 degrees.  We will get some cloud cover which we’ve needed the last few days.  Wind will be 10 mph from the South.  We warm up to the 70’s again tomorrow with more sun.  Still a lot of stoneflies and black caddis around so keep an eye for risers.  Otherwise streamers and nymphs have brought the most fish to net.  Nymphing seemed especially productive yesterday.

The water temps are getting better everyday.  We should see good hatches soon.

 

What’s Hatching:
Early Black / Brown Stone – #14 – 16 – Taeniopteryx fasciiata, Brachytera sp.
Tiny Black Stonefly – #18 – Capniidae sp.
Little Black Caddis – #18 – 20 – Chimarra sp.
Blue Wing Olives – #16 – 18 – Baetis vagans
