Daily fishing verdict · 2026-06-03

Good surface conditions, but that oxygen reading gives me pause.

Water's sitting at 64°F and clearing nicely with flow still falling — on paper, smallmouth should be fired up. The dissolved oxygen at 3 mg/L is uncomfortably low, though, and fish under stress like that can be tough to turn. Might be worth a few casts, but temper your expectations until that number climbs.
