Delaware River Report: April 10, 2024

Our power has been restored. Yesterday fished well with nymphs and dries in the afternoon. The rumors are true and some river sections are seeing hendricksons mixed in with the olives and blue quills. We have sunshine this morning but the clouds are moving in. Today looks like a good day to be on the water. Water temps look good this morning and the cloud cover will be a bonus. The tailwaters are in great shape for floating. Wading is best and safest on the Beaverkill and Willowemoc.

Today will be 61 degrees with rainfall totaling around 1/4″. Wind will be 3 – 7 mph from the South.
