Daily fishing verdict · 2026-10-03

Clearing water and sunny skies — a decent shot at kings.

Published: 2026-10-03 Written from: the dock at 1511 Oak Orchard River Rd, Waterport, NY

Flow is holding steady around 94 cfs and turbidity is clearing, which should help visibility for salmon moving through. Water's cooling — sitting near 59°F — and dissolved oxygen is at 5.2, so fish activity may be measured rather than wide-open. Browns are showing early, but kings are your best bet today; expectations are tempered, not buried.
