Delaware River Report / Conditions April 8, 2021

Yesterday was the nicest day of the year so far.  It was almost hot outside in the sun.  Today looks just as nice.  We’ll have sunshine, the air temp will hit 70 degrees, and wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the North.  We’ll see some clouds push in tomorrow with the chance of a few showers.  Streamers and nymphs are still the best producers but people are catching fish on stoneflies and small caddis too.  The dry fly fishing will improve as the water temperatures climb over the next couple of weeks.
