Clayton with a NJ rainbow a mile from his house!
We are under a flood watch this morning. It sounds like some areas will have localized heavy rain between 1.5″ and 3″. That’s quite a spread so it seems they really don’t know how much rain is coming and where the heaviest fall will be. Looking at the hourly forecast the heaviest rain should happen overnight. So be careful if you’re out there. Wind will be 20 – 30 mph from the South which isn’t so fantastic by itself. Yesterday was decent when the wind was down. There were bugs out there for a couple of hours in the mid afternoon.

Today’s selection of fish:
James with a pretty CT brown
Theo and Clemmie bass fishing close to home
Yesterday was great day to be out. It felt like Summer when the sun was shining. The wind wasn’t too bad and there were a lot of calm stretches. Blue Quills, Hendricksons, and caddis were out in good numbers in the afternoon. There were enough fish up to keep everyone busy. Today will be 56 degrees with 15 – 20 mph wind from the South. The flows are still a bit high throughout the system but are dropping for now. Keep an eye on the rain coming Thursday and Thursday night. We may see quite a bit that will bring the flows up. Hopefully Wunderground is wrong and it slides South of us.

Today’s selection of fish:
Charles and his father found this one eating blue winged olives
Mike keeping busy on his local NJ streams
Today looks like the nicest day of the week. We should hit 60 degrees with a mix of clouds and sun. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the North. We’ll see rain the rest of the week through Saturday night. If Wunderground is correct we’ll see some good accumulation on Thursday but otherwise it looks like light showers. Night time temperatures are improving too which should help the water temps in the long run. If you are fishing the Delaware bring most of your early Spring flies. It looks like a good mix of bugs out there. The flows are dropping but keep an eye on the gauges this week with all of the rain coming through.

Today’s selection of fish:
Tim with another NJ rainbow
Tim found some good stuff on his local stream
Joe T with a home water hendrickson eater
All of the river flows are up this morning. The flow at Hale Eddy is beginning to fall back. The flow on the Beaverkill looks like it is still going up at 7,000 cfs. As that water works it’s way down the flows will go up on the lower EB and Mainstem. Double check the latest flow info on the the links below. It rained most of the day yesterday with a little bit of sleet at the end. Today looks better with the possibility of some afternoon showers, a high of 46 degrees, and wind from the North at 10 mph.

Today’s selection of fish:
John found this rainbow a couple of miles from his house
Mark with a good brown from his local waters
It seems like we are only allotted one nice day a week and yesterday was it. 60 degrees, no wind, some sunshine and bugs. The water temps climbed enough to make the bugs and fish happy. It was also a warm night so the rivers are starting off a couple of degrees warmer this morning. Today we will see between 1/2″ and 3/4″ of rain. Wind will be from the East 10 – 15 mph. We’ll have rain mixed with snow overnight into tomorrow morning. It looks like a wet week ahead but warmer.

Today’s selection of fish:
Eric with a good brown this week
Eric found a good rainbow too!
Most of the rivers had a small bump in flow yesterday but they are dropping back this morning. We didn’t make great gains in water temps since yesterday morning but most of the system is starting off a couple degrees warmer than yesterday. We should hit 60 degrees today with cloud cover and light and variable wind from the North. It looks like the forecasted rain has been pushed off until tomorrow when we’ll see 1/2″. Radar is showing a few storms passing through but most look like they are sliding down to the south of us. If you are fishing anywhere near the Upper Delaware System bring all of your spring flies. The cool weather tends to spread out the hatches over a longer time period so you get a lot of overlap.

Jim with another local from the other day
Yesterday seemed like an 8 hour snow shower filmed in slow motion. the snow never got heavy, never stuck to the ground, but wouldn’t stop. That kept the water temps flat in the low 40’s. We have some rain coming in today and tomorrow. It should end up being less than 1/2″. Wid will be 5 – 10 from the South. We may hit the low 50’s today but tomorrow definitely looks warmer.

Today is going going to be an interesting weather mix. We may see some snow showers this morning giving way to rain mixed with wet snow this afternoon. The air temp will hit 47 degrees so not too bad overall. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the South. Yesterday was cool and windy with very light snow flakes most of the day. The water temps are cool this morning and will take a bit to warm up. We really need some sunshine to see them jump but it is still April.

Matt is doing well close to home in Central, NY
We have a light dusting of snow on the ground this morning but that should melt shortly. We should end up partly cloudy at 42 degrees by late afternoon. Wind will be 10 – 15 from the North. They had yesterday’s report nailed pretty well. We has some scattered rain and wind most of the afternoon and then some really good wind in the evening. Every once in a while the sun would pop out and it was actually nice out on the water. Fewer bugs on the water yesterday or maybe we just didn’t see them because they blew away so fast.

Yesterday we had a cool breeze but overall it was nice to be out in the sunshine. Today will be cooler with the air temp hitting the mid 40’s. We’ll have rain in the morning with the possibility of some thunderstorms in the afternoon. The rain total doesn’t look like much at .25″ or less. The wind will be 15 to 25 mph from the North so if you’re up here pick your spot accordingly. We get the sun back tomorrow but with cooler temps.

Chris come through with the first local striper on the blog!
Art claims he landed this just West of Philly this week. Not so sure we’re buying that!
Yesterday was pleasant but windy up here. We had enough warmth and sunshine to bump the water temps up a couple degrees so we’re starting off a little better this morning. Most of the flows went up a negligible amount from runoff but should start to drop back today. We should see a mix of sun and clouds today peaking around 53 degrees. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the North. That sounds good compared to the wind we’ve been dealing with lately. It looks like we have a relatively cool week coming up with a bit of rain towards the weekend.

Daniel with a good streamer eater from the Croton watershed
It’s a cold morning here with some snow still showing on the norther slopes. The runoff is cold so it will take a while for the water temps to climb. We should hit 58 degrees today with some sunshine. That should help. Wind will be 10 – 20 mph from the South. Pepacton Reservoir is still spilling but the EB flow is dropping slowly along with the rest of the system
