Daily fishing verdict · 2026-07-25
Sunny tomorrow won't help these oxygen numbers.
The 24h DO topped out at just 4.4 mg/L — that ceiling is genuinely low, not a morning dip you can wait out. Smallmouth are in their sweet spot temperature-wise at 66°F, but stressed fish don't feed well, and a sunny forecast pushing air temps to 83°F won't ease that. Worth a few casts this evening, but I'd temper expectations.
