Daily fishing verdict · 2026-09-22
Flow fell overnight — but oxygen is the real squeeze.
Water's down to 260 cfs and falling after peaking at 337 yesterday, and clarity is holding steady at 2.8 FNU — decent conditions on paper. The catch: dissolved oxygen is sitting at 3.3 mg/L, which is tough on fish. Chinook and smallmouth are both building, but until that DO improves, expect activity to be spotty at best.
