Daily fishing verdict · 2026-09-17
Cloudy and 66°F — flow steady, kings building.
Water's sitting at 65.8°F with flow holding steady around 445 cfs and clarity solid at 2.1 FNU — decent conditions on paper. The real limiting factor remains dissolved oxygen at 2.4 mg/L, which keeps fish stressed and feeding inconsistent, so manage expectations. Smallmouth are in their range and early kings may be nosing in, but how active they'll be is anyone's guess until that oxygen improves.
