Delaware River Report: April 9, 2025

Today looks much nicer than yesterday. Warmer, less wind, and no snow showers. We’re coming off a cold night so it will take the rivers a little longer to warm up today. Nymphing will likely be the best bet early. Streamers have also been putting some fish in the boat. There may be a shot at olives and stoneflies this afternoon. This is the least wind we’ve seen for a few days. The 10 day forecast shows decent daytime temps that should definitely help the bugs.

Today will be 44 degrees with partly cloudy skies. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the North.
