Delaware River Report: April 24, 2025

We’re in for another warm day that should push the water temps again. The wind will be low again which should help get the caddis active early. We’re seeing better bugs with Blue Quills, olives, Hendricksons, little black caddis, and some Quill Gordons on the water. A few river sections are seeing apple caddis. There were so many caddis hitting the windshield on Route 97 it seemed like it was raining. Pretty much have every early Spring bug in your box ready to go.

Today will be 69 degrees with a mix of clouds and sun. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the South.
