Delaware River Report / Conditions April 13, 2014

If there was a day so far this season the fish would eat stoneflies this looks like it- they are calling for 75 degrees today!  It may be just enough to raise the water temps a few degrees to get the fish active.  The winds don’t sound great- decent gusts pushing 30 mph.  Let’s hope they’re wrong on that part.  Hopefully this trend continues and blue quills start coming off soon.  Looks like some decent rain coming our way over the next few days.  Hopefully Cannonsville spills and we get some alewife fishing! Cannonsville is 97.9% with a release of 1499 cfs.
