Daily fishing verdict · 2026-06-19

Pressure up, sky clear — smallmouth have a shot today.

Water's sitting right at 66°F with steady flow around 150 cfs and a bit of color still in it at 30 FNU. Oxygen touched 5.1 mg/L at its daily peak, so afternoons should give the fish a workable window — mornings may be sluggish. Rising pressure and sunny skies look good on paper, though the turbidity could keep things honest.
