Delaware River Report: April 19, 2023

The feeder stream flows have dropped as the runoff has subsided. The releases remain the same so the rivers are starting off a little lower than yesterday. Everything is in good shape for wading and floating. We’re still seeing the normal Hendricksons, blue quills, little black caddis, and stoneflies. Nymphing before the hatches has been productive. It’s chilly this morning so it may take a bit for the water temps to climb today.

The air temp will warm back up tomorrow but today we’re going to see 53 degrees with clouds (maybe some sun poking though). The wind will be back at 10 – 20 mph from the West. It should begin to drop in the late afternoon.
