Delaware River Report: August 15, 2024

The river is fishing well, even with the touch of color remaining in the water. We’ve found fish on nymphs, streamers and dries – depending on the time of day. Have your Isos, olives, cahills and a few spinners with you. The Main Stem, Beaverkill and lower East Branch are starting to warm up again now that the levels have dropped. Bring your thermometer if you’re fishing those areas.

Today will be 82 degrees with a mix of sun and clouds and a small chance of showers in the afternoon. Winds 5 – 10 mph from the West.
