Daily fishing verdict · 2026-06-18
Rising flow and a front rolling in — expect mixed results.
Water's up to 140 cfs and still climbing after recent rain, with 32 FNU of color that's holding steady. Temp at 67°F is right in the smallmouth wheelhouse, but oxygen has been scraping a 4.1–5.0 mg/L range all day — not catastrophic, just sluggish. A 45% chance of storms by tonight means conditions could shift; fish while you can, but don't be surprised if the bite takes some coaxing.
