Fishing Water Temperature Resources
Many anglers are always searching for water temps from their region and often times these are not as accessible as simply weather conditions we can all get pretty easily this days with apps and such.
One of the best resources we have is the data daily info from National Weather Service:
https://www.weather.gov/marfc/WaterTemperatures
Or water data from the USGS:
https://waterdata.usgs.gov/monitoring-location/01631000/#parameterCode=00065&period=P7D&compare=true
You can use this data to compare between today and last year water levels for example on your river fisheries.
Water data is vital in determining the best presentations and areas to fish for Smallies especially when you have rising or declining water levels. Current flow data, water quality and water depth are really the “River Trinity” for fishing for river smallies!!
Use these resources to plan your fishing trips.
