Turbidity muddying up as DO stays genuinely low all day.

The 24-hour oxygen range — 2.4 to 3.2 mg/L — tells the hard truth: there's no real afternoon recovery window here, just degrees of stressed. Water's clear enough at 7.5 FNU, temp is holding at 73°F, and flow is slowly falling, but smallmouth aren't likely to feed aggressively under these conditions. A 38% rain chance tomorrow could shake things up; for now, expectations should be modest.
