Nearly 80°F and the DO ceiling is genuinely low today.

With a 24-hour DO max of just 3.5 mg/L, there's no real afternoon recovery window — the oxygen stays stressed all day, and smallmouth at 79.88°F water are already well outside their comfort zone. Turbidity is holding steady at 40 FNU, so visibility isn't helping either. Honestly, I'd give this one a hard pass; tomorrow's 71% rain chance might shake things up, but right now the river needs a break more than you need to fish it.
