Delaware River Report / Conditions April 23, 2021

The air temp should be close to 60 degrees this afternoon.  We’re starting off around 30 but once the sun pops out things should warm up quickly.  The wind will be up a bit between 10 and 15 mph fro the North.  It will be a welcome change after the last two days.  Yesterday there were some blue quills and hendricksons for a short while but the wind made it really tough.   The the snow, sleet, and hail did not help either.  Some fish were landed on nymphs in the afternoon.  The 10 day forecast looks great with some really warm days coming next week. This week should fish really well.
