Normal for Nov 5: 28–52 ft³/s (middle half of 45 years of record). Now: 10.4 ft³/s, lowest for this date on record.
Lowest for this date on record for this date. 10.4 ft³/s is below the lowest daily mean recorded on this date of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 45 years of record (1951–2026): 10th 23, 25th 28, median 37, 75th 52, 90th 66 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 20 ft³/s, highest 98 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 13.4%, from 9.17 to 10.4 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.

Where NORTH TYGER RIVER NEAR FAIRMONT, SC sits, with 2 other gauges on the same river.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer: the trout lines South Carolina DNR uses are 62°F and 70°F.

Rising water. Rising over the last 24 hours (discharge up 13.4%). 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.
