Daily fishing verdict · 2026-07-18
Rain on the way — get out before it hits.
Water's sitting at 75.7°F and flow is a steady 27.8 cfs with good clarity, so smallmouth conditions are decent right now even if the temps are a touch warm. DO has been ranging up to 13.9 mg/L through the day, so oxygen isn't the concern. There's a 94% chance of precip rolling in though, so your window may be better sooner than later — just keep that in mind.
