Daily fishing verdict · 2026-05-29
Smallmouth conditions look solid — some caveats.
Water's sitting at 64°F — right in the smallmouth wheelhouse — flow is steady at 357 cfs and visibility is good at 4.1 FNU. The one flag I can't ignore is dissolved oxygen down at 3.1 mg/L, which can put fish off the feed; activity may be spottier than the surface conditions suggest. Should be a decent day, but temper expectations a bit.
