85/100Excellent
SHOULD YOU FISH TODAY?

Tomorrow looks better for fishing logistics

Today is 85/100 and tomorrow is 96/100. The forecast improves enough to favor waiting if your schedule is flexible. The tomorrow comparison changes forecast weather while carrying forward the latest measured water context, so recheck the gauge or tide before leaving.

River flow12 cfs

Current streamflow is 12 cfs. Flow is falling by about 3% over 24 hours.

Wind8 mph

Wind should be relatively manageable for most fishing logistics.

What we still don't know
  • 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.

7-DAY PLANNING OUTLOOK

Weather-based trip planning

Tue96/10065–85°F · wind up to 10 mph
Wed96/10054–75°F · wind up to 8 mph
Thu96/10051–74°F · wind up to 7 mph
Fri96/10059–84°F · wind up to 5 mph
Sat96/10065–87°F · wind up to 6 mph
Sun96/10064–85°F · wind up to 6 mph
Mon96/10064–87°F · wind up to 7 mph

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.

SPECIES INTELLIGENCE

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.

GEAR FOR THESE CONDITIONS

Useful starting points

Multi-weight jig assortment

Multiple weights let you adjust to current speed and depth.

Where this page gets its facts

  • USGS: Nf Cache C Nr Clearlake Oaks Ca (sensor ID 11451300)

Water data: U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Weather forecasts/alerts: National Weather Service (NWS). Coastal tide/observation data: NOAA CO-OPS where applicable. Derived scores are site calculations, not official agency products.

TRANSPARENCY

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.
