Default Little smokey river conditions

Thinking of heading to the little smokey (fox creek) to try my hand at Grayling for the first time. My buddy said he passed a section last weekend, heading home from NWT, it was murky (runoff?). How are the conditons like on the Little Smokey, around the Fox creek area atm?

Thanks!

The river is sadly starving for water. Too much being pulled off via licences. There are delays from 8-17k as they're rebuilding the road.

Grew up fishing this crick. Could see it being a bad one for warmth and flow too.

It's on the warmer side, but not to the point that I've seen fish dying. It's the poachers killing the fish lol
