Daily fishing verdict · 2026-06-14

Storms incoming; fish may be your last worry today.

Published: 2026-06-14 Written from: the dock at 1511 Oak Orchard River Rd, Waterport, NY

With a 99% chance of showers and thunderstorms in the next 24 hours and pressure already sliding, getting out safely is the first call to make. The river sits at 72.86°F and 114 FNU turbidity — murky and trending muddier — and dissolved oxygen has been locked between 3.2 and 4.1 mg/L all day, which is genuinely stressed territory even at its best. Honestly, I'd sit this one out and see where things stand after the storms pass.

The cottage is a few minutes from St. Mary's Archers public access and five minutes from Point Breeze. Book direct to skip the platform fee.
