Delaware River Report: April 13, 2026

The flows are still slowly dropping and the rivers are in great shape. Water temps are starting off a couple of degrees higher than yesterday morning. We’re still mainly fishing streamers and nymphs but the dry fly fishing should pick up over the next week with the warmer temperatures. Try to find some spots that are sheltered from the wind. Today’s rain will be negligible at .05″.

Today will be 73 degrees with clouds and some light rain showers. Wind will be 10 – 20 mph from the South.
