Conditions

As of August 11, flows are at 5,250 cfs and dropping—a prime window as fish relocate into newly fishable water. Steady smallmouth bass action continues this fall, with fish moving deeper as temperatures cool. Consider heavier line and bigger attractors along the edges as conditions settle.
