Daily fishing verdict · 2026-08-15
Flow at 32.9 cfs and dropping — water's clearing up.
Turbidity is holding steady at 15.5 FNU and flow is falling, which is the right direction for smallmouth. The catch is oxygen — the 24h range topped out at just 4.6 mg/L, which is marginal all day, not just mornings. Water at 71°F is a touch above their sweet spot too, so expect fish to be sluggish; afternoon sun may nudge DO slightly, but I wouldn't count on much.
