Daily fishing verdict · 2026-05-26
Smallmouth prime time — water's right.
At 62°F and climbing 3.6 degrees in the last 24 hours, the river is sitting squarely in smallmouth territory. Flow is rising at 267 cfs but clarity looks fine at 4.9 FNU, so conditions should be fishable. That said, dissolved oxygen is reading low at 3.7 mg/L, which could temper activity — worth a few exploratory casts before you commit to a long session.
