Delaware River Report: April 15, 2025

The water temps bumped up quite a bit yesterday and are starting off in good shape this morning. The West Branch at the 191 Bridge is 47 degrees at 6:30 am. There were quite a few stoneflies and little black caddis in the air yesterday but not a lot hit the water. There were a few olives here and there too. A few people saw some rising fish but nymphs and streamers are what brought the fish to the net. The wind will be back today so try to find some protected areas.

Today will be 57 degrees with cloudy skies. We may see some showers this afternoon. Total rainfall should be .09″. Wind will be 10 – 20 mph from the West.
