Delaware River Report / Conditions April 24, 2021

Today looks like a great day to be on the water.  We should hit 63 degrees with sunshine and a few clouds.  Wind will be 5 – 7 mph from the West. 5 mph is nothing after the last few days!  We should see good hatches of hendricksons, blue wing olives, and blue quills mixed with the caddis.  The hatches were decent yesterday and some people found fish rising despite the wind so it’s definitely going.  The ten day forecast still looks great with warm temps and a mix of clouds and sunshine.

Dark Hendrickson – #14 – E. subvaria (male)
Light Hendrickson – #12 – E. Subvaria (female)
