Delaware River Report / Conditions April 17, 2021

Some of the river flows bumped up overnight from the rain but not enough to make a difference this morning. The water temps all seem to be within a degree of yesterday morning too.  That leaves us with a decent start today.  We’ll be close to 50 degrees this afternoon but may see a few snow showers before lunch. The precip. shouldn’t amount to anything.  Wind from North 5 – 10 mph.  Nymphing and streamers early will be your best bets early but keep an eye out for risers in the afternoon.  The dry fly fishing has been picking up offering some good shots each day.
