Temp dropped hard — water's cooling and clearing.

After yesterday's storms, the river fell nearly 8°F to 64.9°F and turbidity is on its way down at 44 FNU — both steps in the right direction for smallmouth. Oxygen peaked at 5.3 mg/L over the last 24 hours, so there's a workable afternoon window, though the daily mean of 4.4 suggests fish may be sluggish earlier. Tomorrow looks sunny with a high of 70°F, so conditions should continue to improve — if you can get out this afternoon, it may be worth a look.
