Daily fishing verdict · 2026-09-18
Flow peaked yesterday, falling now — mostly sunny ahead.
Flow peaked at 486 cfs yesterday afternoon and is falling back to 434 cfs today, with turbidity holding steady at 2 FNU and water at 66°F — right in the sweet spot for smallmouth. The catch is dissolved oxygen at 2.2 mg/L, which is rough on fish activity, so keep expectations measured. Early king salmon are building, but that oxygen will limit enthusiasm across the board.
