Daily fishing verdict · 2026-09-25

55°F and sunny — oxygen at 4.9 keeps expectations in check.

Flow peaked at 207 cfs yesterday afternoon and is falling now, sitting at 176 cfs with clarity holding steady at 5.5 FNU — not bad visually. Water is cooling into the lower end of king salmon range, and early arrivals are possible, but dissolved oxygen at 4.9 mg/L remains a real limiter for active fish; manage expectations until that number climbs.
