Sunny morning, 66°F water — kings may be trickling in.

Water's sitting at 66°F and cooling slightly, flow is steady around 513 cfs, and clarity is good at 3.5 FNU. Smallmouth bass are in their prime temperature window, though dissolved oxygen at 2.7 mg/L keeps things honest — fish may be less aggressive than the conditions suggest. A few early Chinook could be nosing in from the lake, so it's worth keeping an eye out.
