Delaware River Report: April 25, 2026

Every weather app has a slightly different forecast and every time we look it changes. The only thing the all agree on is that it’s going to rain. The one good thing is that the rain looks spread out over the day and overnight. We may see an inch total. If we get a half inch spread out from 8 am to dark we should be fine and it should fish. The early Spring bugs are resilient. Hendricksons, Blue Quills, Olives, apple caddis, and little black caddis are making up the bulk of the bugs now. If river conditions change dramatically we’ll post an update. Click on the gauge links below for the latest flow information.

Today will be 47 degrees with clouds and periods of rain. Wind will be 10 – 15 mph from the South.
