Daily fishing verdict · 2026-07-24
Pressure rising, sunny ahead — DO is the real question.
The 24h oxygen range topped out at just 4.4 mg/L, which is genuinely stressed territory for smallmouth — even the afternoon peak isn't giving much relief. River temp and flow data are offline right now, so I'm working with incomplete info. With sunny skies and a waxing gibbous moon tonight, it's worth a cast, but temper your expectations and keep fish in the water.
