Map of USGS gauge 02168504 and the river around it
Where SALUDA RIVER BELOW LK MURRAY DAM NR COLUMBIA, SC sits, with 2 other gauges on the same river.
Not over South Carolina DNR's 70°F line. Water 62.6°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 62.8°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: 524–2,510 ft³/s (middle half of 38 years of record). Now: 1,830 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 1,830 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 38 years of record (1989–2026): 10th 430, 25th 524, median 799, 75th 2,510, 90th 4,520 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 176 ft³/s, highest 15,900 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).
Steady over 24 hours (+0.5% discharge). 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 7.4 mg/L at Nov 5, 9:30 PM EST; 7-day range 6.8–7.7 mg/L
Enough oxygen for coldwater fish: 7.4 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)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 5.76 ft stage, 1,920 ft³/s at Nov 5, 9:00 PM EST (NWS gauge MURS1; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
