Flow falling after last night's peak — decent timing for kings.

Published: 2026-10-07 Written from: the dock at 1511 Oak Orchard River Rd, Waterport, NY

Flow peaked at 77.5 cfs last evening and has been falling since, now sitting at 63.2 cfs with turbidity holding steady around 9.1 FNU — not bad clarity for this time of year. Water is cooling toward 54°F, right in the Chinook sweet spot, and browns are beginning to follow. Partly sunny with a slight shower chance later today, though conditions could shift — worth getting out while the flow is settling.
