Water muddying in the rain — kings still worth a shot.

Flow is steady at 70.7 cfs and water temp is holding at 58°F, but turbidity is muddying and we've got periods of light rain forecast through the day with a 90% chance of precip. Dissolved oxygen is sitting at 5.3 mg/L, which is a little soft for kings — they're in the building phase, so fish are around, though conditions may dampen activity. Saturday looks much brighter if you can wait.
