An active weather alert matters more than the fishing score
Check the active National Weather Service alert before deciding whether to go. The derived fishing score should not override official safety information.
Current streamflow is 679 cfs. Flow is rising by about 243% over 24 hours.
Wind should be relatively manageable for most fishing logistics.
- No authoritative species evidence is attached yet, so this page deliberately does not recommend specific fish species.
- No qualified multi-year monthly flow baseline is available yet, so the current flow cannot be labeled high or low for the season.
Conditions score fell 8 points
- Streamflow is up 243% versus roughly 24 hours ago.
- Current wind is about 8 mph.

Weather-based trip planning
Future scores primarily reflect forecast weather while using today's water conditions as the baseline. Recheck before the trip because river flow, tides and water temperature can change.
Confirmed fish targets
No authoritative species occurrence evidence is attached to this water yet, so the site deliberately does not recommend trout, bass or any other target merely because the temperature looks compatible.
Species recommendations require stored authoritative/editor-confirmed occurrence evidence. Broad temperature compatibility is not enough.

Flow has changed materially; conservative footing and access checks matter more.

What this score means
This is a planning score based on measurable conditions. It is not a bite forecast and cannot guarantee catches. Missing facts are left unavailable rather than invented.
