55°F and sunny — kings at the edge of ideal.

Water's at 55.4°F and cooling, flow peaked yesterday at 92.6 cfs and is now falling back to 78.7 with turbidity holding steady at 11.5 FNU — not gin clear, but fishable. Kings are building and that temp is right at the edge of their sweet spot, so there's a decent chance they're active, though I'd call it a moderate outlook rather than a sure thing. Sunny skies forecast today and tomorrow.
