Daily fishing verdict · 2026-05-27
Smallmouth in the sweet spot, but watch the rise.
At 65.8°F, the water is sitting right in the middle of smallmouth territory — hard to ask for better temps. Flow is rising though, up to 311 cfs, and with pressure quietly falling, conditions could shift in the next day or so. Fishing should be decent today; just worth keeping an eye on things as the river climbs.
