Turbidity clearing after the morning peak — worth a look.

Published: 2026-10-08 Written from: the dock at 1511 Oak Orchard River Rd, Waterport, NY

Flow peaked at 104 cfs and has been falling since, sitting around 92.6 cfs now, with turbidity clearing and water at 56°F — not far above the king salmon sweet spot. Oxygen is on the low side at 6.1 mg/L, so activity could be hit or miss, but the improving clarity is encouraging. Sunny skies should hold most of the day, with only a slight chance of showers later.
