Map of USGS gauge 021624101 and the river around it
Where SALUDA RIVER AT HUNTS BRIDGE RD NR DACUSVILLE, SC sits, with 4 other gauges on the same river and our water's map point.
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.
USGS publishes no daily statistics for this gauge, so the reading is not compared with the record.
Rising over 24 hours: discharge up 259.6%, from 161 to 579 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 the agency lists for Saluda River: Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout.
Source: The Tailwaters (SCDNR-managed trout tailwaters below Lake Hartwell Dam and Lake Murray Dam) (South Carolina Department of Natural Resources).
Rising water. Rising over the last 24 hours (discharge up 260%). 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.
Turn Around Don't Drown (National Weather Service)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, 11:43 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.
