72°F water, light wind, clear skies — smallmouth are sluggish but present.

Water's dropped nearly two degrees and the DO range has been workable — 24h max hit 6.5 mg/L, so afternoon photosynthesis should keep fish comfortable enough to feed. Pressure's been rising on a clear, calm day, which can push bass into a neutral mood; expect finicky bites rather than aggressive ones. Low flow at 36 CFS and decent clarity at 8.9 FNU give you a fair shot, though results could go either way.
