Daily fishing verdict · 2026-06-16
Murky water rising again — afternoon's your best shot.
That 0.76" of rain over the past 48 hours pushed turbidity back up to 56 FNU and the river's still muddying — not ideal, but flow is falling at 117 cfs so things should slowly improve. Oxygen topped out at only 4.9 mg/L over the last 24 hours, which is borderline; afternoons under clear skies give the best window, though I'd temper expectations. Smallmouth are in their prime temperature range at 63.68°F — worth a few hours if you can time it right.
