Map of USGS gauge 02012500 and the river around it
Where JACKSON RIVER AT FALLING SPRING, VA sits, with 4 other gauges on the same river and our water's map point.
Steady over 24 hours (gauge height +0.00 ft). Rising or falling means a change of more than 10% in discharge (or 0.2 ft of gauge height) over 24 hours; our rule of thumb, not a USGS class.
Within Virginia DWR's comfort range. Water 59.7°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 60.3°F. Virginia DWR: trout “are most comfortable in highly oxygenated water that doesn’t exceed 68 degrees in temperature.” It also warns that “Trout become stressed in water temperatures in the mid- to upper-60s”: on warm days, “consider fishing early in the morning for a few hours and then quitting.”
Safe Practices for Summer Trout Fishing (7 June 2022) (Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources)Species the agency lists for Jackson River: rainbow trout, brown trout, smallmouth bass, rock bass, redbreast sunfish.

Below NWS action stage. The National Weather Service reports this gauge below its action stage. That is not a statement that wading is safe.
Flood categories: action stage, minor, moderate and major flooding (National Weather Service)Cold water. Water 59.7°F. NWS: “Cold shock can be just as severe and dangerous from water temperatures of 50-60°F (10-15°C) as it is from water at 35°F (2°C).” “Always wear a life jacket in and around the water.”
Cold Water Hazards and Safety (National Weather Service)Turn Around Don't Drown. “A mere 6 inches of fast-moving flood water can knock over an adult.” No flow number makes a crossing safe; if in doubt, stay out.
