Delaware River Report: April 28, 2025

The river flows are dropping back nicely and everything looks good this morning. The cool night pushed the water temps down a bit but they will climb quickly with today’s weather. The caddis should be active with no wind. Olives, Hendricksons, Blue Quills, and some Quill Gordons should be on the water this afternoon. Yesterday was tough in the wind but there were some breaks. A few fish were landed on olive dries but nymphs and streamers put most of the fish in the net. Today looks so much better!

Today will be 72 degrees with sunshine Wind will be light and variable.
