Daily fishing verdict · 2026-10-05

Sunny day, steady flow, turbidity clearing — decent setup.

Water's sitting at 57.9°F and cooling a touch, flow is steady at 83.6 cfs, and visibility is improving. Oxygen is at 5.9 mg/L — not ideal but fishable, so don't be surprised if kings are a little sluggish. Browns are early in the mix; conditions could tighten up nicely if the sunny stretch holds through tomorrow.
