Daily fishing verdict · 2026-06-23
Clearing water, cloudy sky — a decent setup for smallmouth.
After 1.6 inches over the past 48 hours, the river is holding steady at 187 cfs and turbidity is dropping, which is encouraging. Water's at 63.86°F — squarely in smallmouth range — but DO is a concern; the 24-hour max only hit 4.9 mg/L, so fish may be sluggish until conditions improve. Tomorrow looks partly sunny with little rain, which could help oxygen recover.
