Map of USGS gauge 0214642825 and the river around it
Where BRIAR CREEK NEAR CHARLOTTE, NC sits, with 4 other gauges on the same river.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. NC Wildlife Resources Commission publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a North Carolina rule, with N.C. Cooperative Extension's own figure added: 68°F and 70°F.
Normal for Nov 5: 0.51–1.5 ft³/s (middle half of 27 years of record). Now: 1.73 ft³/s, above normal.
Above normal for this date. 1.73 ft³/s is between the 75th and 90th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 27 years of record (1999–2026): 10th 0.34, 25th 0.51, median 0.89, 75th 1.5, 90th 2.5 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 0.25 ft³/s, highest 14 ft³/s.
Classes as USGS labels them (hyswap: flow categories (WDFN_stats schema) (U.S. Geological Survey) ); percentiles from the USGS daily statistics (U.S. Geological Survey) (approved daily means; the reading is provisional and instantaneous).
Rising over 24 hours: discharge up 46.6%, from 1.18 to 1.73 ft³/s. 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.
Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission: North Carolina daily trout stockings · North Carolina fishing regulations.
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)Rising water. Rising over the last 24 hours (discharge up 46.6%). Keep your way back to the bank in sight and watch the level while you fish. “Rising” is our rule of thumb: more than 10% in discharge or 0.2 ft of gauge height in 24 hours, not a USGS or NWS class.
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.
