Delaware River Report / Conditions April 10, 2019

Yesterday was a beautiful Spring day until the wind showed up in the late afternoon.  We had a storm come through that dropped some heavy rain for a very short period.  Some of the feeders were pushing a little color but have cleared up this morning.  The release from Cannonsville has been dropped back to 727 cfs.  Today looks cooler with the air temp reaching the mid 40’s.  Wind will be out of the North around 10 mph with gusts higher.  That may force it to become more of a streamer / nymphing afternoon unless we get some lulls or you find a protected area.  We’ll start to warm back up tomorrow and continue on that trend through the weekend.

 

We're still finding good bugs on the West if the wind isn't blowing
