Daily fishing verdict · 2026-10-13

Turbidity clearing, but storms rolling in today.

Water's at 58°F and steady, flow holding around 78 cfs, and turbidity is clearing — not bad for kings and early browns. That said, showers and thunderstorms are likely through today, so plan around the weather; Wednesday looks much quieter with mostly cloudy skies. Oxygen is sitting at 5.2 mg/L, which may keep fish a touch sluggish — hard to say for certain.
