Daily fishing verdict · 2026-08-30

Rain chance tomorrow; get on the water today.

Flow's down to 27.8 cfs and falling, water's sitting right at 67°F — solidly in smallmouth range. Oxygen is still running low at 5.4 mg/L, which may keep fish sluggish, so manage expectations. That said, mostly clear skies and a 71% rain chance rolling in could shake things loose if you time it right.
