Map of USGS gauge 02171645 and the river around it
Where REDIV CANAL AT SANTEE RIVER NR ST STEPHEN, SC sits.
Over 70°F: stressful for trout. Water 69.8°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 70.9°F. South Carolina DNR: “water temperatures above 70° F stress the trout and make them difficult to catch. Fishing is best very early in the morning or very late in the evening.”
South Carolina Trout Fishing (booklet) (South Carolina Department of Natural Resources)Normal for Nov 5: 75–3,150 ft³/s (middle half of 40 years of record). Now: 292 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 292 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 40 years of record (1987–2026): 10th 2, 25th 75, median 152, 75th 3,150, 90th 17,400 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 0 ft³/s, highest 25,400 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 52.9%, from 191 to 292 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.
Rising water. Rising over the last 24 hours (discharge up 52.9%). 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)Dissolved oxygen 9.1 mg/L at Nov 5, 9:30 PM EST; 7-day range 8.5–10.7 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 8.4 at Nov 5, 9:30 PM EST; 7-day range 8.3–9.4
Within EPA's freshwater range: pH 8.4 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)Specific conductance 128 µS/cm at Nov 5, 9:30 PM EST; 7-day range 124–136 µS/cm
Dissolved ions: Specific conductance rises with the ions dissolved in the water. No fishing threshold is published for it; compare with this gauge's own recent readings.
Conductivity (Electrical Conductance) 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 8.92 ft stage at Nov 5, 8:30 PM EST (NWS gauge STPS1; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS has not set flood categories for this gauge.
Forecasts are not available. Only observed stages are available for this point.

Checked Nov 5, 9:57 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.
