Delaware River Report: April 14, 2025

Today looks like a beautiful day to be on the water with decent air temps and less wind than we’ve seen in a while. The water temps should bump by mid afternoon despite the clouds. That could push some olives and bring the caddis off the bushes. Blue Quills can’t be far off so definitely have some in your box. Yesterday was a bit unsettled but there were some nice periods when the sun would poke through the clouds. Nymphing and streamers were still the best options.

Today will be 63 degrees with cloudy skies. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the South.
