Daily fishing verdict · 2026-10-04

Water cooling toward 57°F — kings building, browns not far behind.

The river is sitting at 57.7°F and cooling, with flow steady around 87 cfs and turbidity holding. Oxygen is at 5.6 mg/L, which keeps things honest — Chinook are the main draw right now, with browns still early in their run. Mostly sunny this morning with a chance of showers later, so earlier is probably the smarter bet, all else being equal.
