Daily fishing verdict · 2026-09-20
62°F water, steady flow — oxygen still dangerously low.
Water's sitting at 62°F with flow steady around 383 cfs and clarity good at 2.3 FNU — on paper, solid smallmouth and early-king conditions. The problem is dissolved oxygen at 2.6 mg/L, which is tough on fish regardless of species. Mostly cloudy today with a slight rain chance; hard to call this a confident bite, but conditions could shift.
