Delaware River Report / Conditions October 14, 2018

We had more rain than they forecast yesterday but it didn’t raise the river levels much. They’re already on their way back down again. It was a mix of rain, sun and wind out there – a perfect day for fishing streamers. There was also some rising fish near the end of the day. Make sure to watch the tail outs of the pools and have your spinners handy. We had a chilly night and today is starting off in the 30’s but will warm up once the sun breaks through. The Beaverkill is back to a wadeable level and is your best option if on foot today.
