Delaware River Report / Conditions April 22, 2021

The wind, rain, and snow made for challenging conditions yesterday.  There were some fish landed on nymphs but it wasn’t easy.  Today looks a little better with the air temp reaching the low 40’s.  Rising temps are better than falling temps at least.  We may see a little more snow this morning but mostly in the higher elevations.  The wind will still be up.  Looking ahead things turn back to normal tomorrow with the air temp reaching close to 60 degrees.  The ten day outlook shows warm temps, some sun and rain, and no more snow.
