Delaware River Report: April 29, 2025

It took a while for the water temps to climb back up yesterday but once that happened everyone seemed to find fish. There are still a lot of caddis around mixed with Hendricksons, Blue Quills, olives, and some Quill Gordons. So far it was the best day this Spring. The water temps are in good shape this morning and today will be warmer. It looks like the rain should hold off until after dark but the total over night should only be .35″. We have water, the bugs are here and should keep getting better and better this week.

Today will be 82 degrees with a mix of sun and clouds Wind will be 10 – 20 mph from the South.
