Daily fishing verdict · 2026-08-16
Clear skies, 70°F water — afternoon odds are decent.
Flow's down to 29 cfs and clarity is holding steady at 16 FNU, which gives smallmouth good enough visibility to feed. The 24h DO maxed at 5.1 mg/L — not ideal, but fish should get a workable window as photosynthesis kicks in through the afternoon. A 41% rain chance overnight could shift things by tomorrow, so today's your better bet, though nothing's guaranteed.
