Reading Nov 5, 11:10 PM EST · provisional USGS data
No flow at this gauge. USGS does not publish discharge here, so there are no flow statistics either; it reports what is shown. We found no other gauge on the same river that publishes flow.
Water temperature, last 7 days: 185 readings from Oct 30, 12:10 AM EDT to Nov 5, 11:10 PM EST; ranging 51.1 to 63.5 °F; latest 62.8 °F.
USGS provisional data may be revised. Source: USGS instantaneous values.

Map of USGS gauge 0207635082 and the river around it
Where CHERRYSTONE CK ABOVE NR CO RD 1444 NR CHATHAM, VA sits, with 1 other gauge on the same river.
Within Virginia DWR's comfort range. Water 62.8°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 63.5°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)Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources: Virginia daily trout stocking schedule · Virginia freshwater fishing regulations.
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.
Turn Around Don't Drown (National Weather Service)Dissolved oxygen 7.2 mg/L at Nov 5, 11:10 PM EST; 7-day range 7.1–9.7 mg/L
Enough oxygen for coldwater fish: 7.2 mg/L meets the 6.5 mg/L EPA sets for coldwater fish (other life stages; eggs and fry need a 8 mg/L minimum).
Quality Criteria for Water 1986 (“Gold Book”): dissolved oxygen, Table 1; pH (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency)pH 7 at Nov 5, 11:10 PM EST; 7-day range 7–7.2
Within EPA's freshwater range: pH 7 is within the 6.5–9 range EPA gives for freshwater aquatic life.
Quality Criteria for Water 1986 (“Gold Book”): dissolved oxygen, Table 1; pH (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency)Turbidity 3 FNU at Nov 5, 11:10 PM EST; 7-day range 2.7–6.8 FNU
Water clarity: Turbidity measures the relative clarity of water: higher means murkier. No agency publishes a fishing threshold for it; compare with this gauge's own recent readings.
Turbidity and Water (U.S. Geological Survey)Specific conductance 119 µS/cm at Nov 5, 11:10 PM EST; 7-day range 95–133 µS/cm
Dissolved ions: Specific conductance rises with the ions dissolved in the water. No fishing threshold is published for it; compare with this gauge's own recent readings.
Conductivity (Electrical Conductance) and Water (U.S. Geological Survey)Guidance from the readings above and the published thresholds named with each line; not a fishing forecast, a safety guarantee or a statement about access. Local rules and closures come first.
The National Weather Service has no flood-stage gauge here, so no official flood category is shown.
Checked Nov 5, 11:24 PM EST; readings refresh at most every 15 minutes and statistics daily. Provisional USGS data can be revised. Conditions change: re-check before you go. This is general guidance, not a fishing forecast, a safety guarantee or a statement about access.
