How to read it

Dissolved oxygen (mg/L) — above 6 is healthy; 4–6 is moderate; below 4 the fish get sluggish. Summer afternoons and warm, still water run lowest.
Temperature drives activity by species; clarity (turbidity, FNU) hints at bait choice — clear water favors natural finesse, stained water favors scent and vibration.
These are water conditions, not a bite guarantee — wind, pressure, season, and time of day matter too.

A Texas fishing license is required for most anglers — see Texas Parks & Wildlife. Watch the water: never wade unfamiliar current, and in high water turn around, don't drown. River and bayou flood levels are here.
