Daily fishing verdict · 2026-08-21
67°F water, dead calm — smallmouth conditions look solid.
With temps cooling a couple degrees overnight and flow down to 20.7 cfs on clear, still water, the river's in decent shape for bass. Oxygen touched 6 mg/L at the daily peak, so afternoons should offer a workable window — though mornings can run a little lean. High pressure holding and sunny skies through tomorrow; should be a reasonable day, all things considered.
