Map of USGS gauge 02162035 and the river around it
Where BROAD RIVER NEAR COLUMBIA, SC sits, with 2 other gauges on the same river.
Not over South Carolina DNR's 70°F line. Water 69.1°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 69.4°F. South Carolina DNR gives 52 to 62°F as optimum (“when water temperatures are optimum (52-62° F), trout fishing can be productive throughout the day”) and 70°F as the line above which water stresses trout.
South Carolina Trout Fishing (booklet)Normal for Nov 5: 1,750–3,920 ft³/s (middle half of 15 years of record). Now: 1,360 ft³/s, below normal.
Below normal for this date. 1,360 ft³/s is between the 10th and 25th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 15 years of record (2012–2026): 10th 844, 25th 1,750, median 2,390, 75th 3,920, 90th 15,800 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 665 ft³/s, highest 31,300 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).
Falling over 24 hours: discharge down 29.2%, from 1,920 to 1,360 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 South Carolina Department of Natural Resources: South Carolina trout stocking summary · South Carolina hunting and 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 9.1 mg/L at Nov 5, 10:15 PM EST; 7-day range 8.8–9.9 mg/L
Enough oxygen for coldwater fish: 9.1 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 7.8 at Nov 5, 10:15 PM EST; 7-day range 7.5–8.3
Within EPA's freshwater range: pH 7.8 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 5.1 FNU at Nov 5, 10:15 PM EST; 7-day range 4.6–68.4 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)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.
NWS observed 154 ft stage at Nov 5, 9:30 PM EST (NWS gauge CBRS1; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS has not set flood categories for this gauge.
