Water temperature, clarity and flow have just about returned to normal.  Hickory shad bite has been fantastic with a few American shad mixed in.  Some jumbo perch have finally shown up but seem to be scattered and in some unlikely places.  Striper bite is spotty and the few fish biting are in a smaller size class than the ones a couple weeks ago.  With so many herring in the river it can be hard to fool a striper into biting a jig.
