Delaware River Report / Conditions April 5, 2017

The river flows are up again after the runoff from the heavy rains.  Not a great scenario for waders but throwing streamers from a boat has been productive.  Water temperatures are up again this morning which will certainly help the fishing.  It looks like we are either spilling slightly from Cannonsville or are just on the verge.  Accuweather has around 3/4″ of rain in tomorrows forecast.

To keep it short:
1. Fish streamers in the slower pools and drop offs
2. Don’t wade
3.  Bring a raincoat

Hatching:
Tiny Black Stonefly – #18 – Capniidae sp.
