Daily fishing verdict · 2026-09-13
Oxygen is the story today — fish with it in mind.
Water's sitting at 66.7°F and flow is steady at 491 cfs with 1.8 FNU clarity — on paper those are decent late-summer numbers for smallmouth. The catch is dissolved oxygen down at 2.4 mg/L, which is tough on fish and will limit where they can comfortably hold. Partly sunny this morning with a chance of showers later, and Monday looks to bounce back sunny — conditions may shift, but right now I'd temper expectations.
