Delaware River Report / Conditions April 10, 2014

The wind blew yesterday.   On a good note the fish seemed a little more active chasing streamers than they have been.  The afternoon water temps are still peaking a little higher everyday so it’s only going to get better.  We had a little frost this morning but Accuweather is calling for a high of 66 degrees.  Even if we discount that number a little since they are not always quite “accurate” we’re in for a warm Spring day!  Streamers should be a great bet this afternoon.  Keep an eye out for stoneflies- looks like a great day!
