Delaware River Report: April 19, 2026

We woke up to wind and rain this morning. Total rainfall shouldn’t bump the flows much but check the gauge links below for the latest flow data. This is quite a weather change after the summer like heat this past week. The hatching was better yesterday on some stretches but the wind made it tough. The bugs are moving so the nymphing has really improved. People are still catching fish on streamers too.

Today will be 48 degrees with cloud cover. There is a chance of .2″ of rain maybe mixed with a little snow. Wind will be 10 – 15 mph from the North.
