Delaware River Report: April 16, 2025

There is a light dusting of snow in the higher elevations but the river valley is clear this morning. We’ll be a bit colder today with wind so pick your spot accordingly. If the wind forecast is correct today will be a nymph and streamer day. We warm back up tomorrow and should see the sun. We have seen fish eating midges, stoneflies, and olives on the days with no wind so that should pick up as the weather gets nicer. Blue Quills shouldn’t be too far off.

Today will be 41 degrees with clouds and a few scattered snow showers. We should not see any accumulation. Wind will be 10 – 20 mph from the North.
