68°F and clear — smallmouth sitting right in their wheelhouse.

Water's at 68°F, right in the sweet spot for smallmouth, with flow holding steady at 175 cfs. Oxygen hit just 5.0 mg/L at its daily peak, so bass may be a bit sluggish early — give it until afternoon when photosynthesis catches up before expecting much action. Clear skies and light wind make for pleasant fishing, though I'd hedge a little on how aggressive they'll be all day.
