Map of USGS gauge 02207418 and the river around it
Where BIG HAYNES CREEK AT JACK TURNER DAM,NR MILSTEAD GA sits, with 2 other gauges on the same river.
Federal guidance. Georgia DNR Wildlife Resources Division publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a Georgia rule, with Georgia DNR Wildlife Resources Division's own figure added:
Under the federal 68°F line. Water 63.3°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 64°F. That is under the 68°F at which the National Park Service, at Grand Teton National Park, recommends anglers stop fishing in the afternoon (“cease fishing at 2 p.m. when water temperatures are likely to exceed 68°F”). Water warms through the afternoon, so check again later in the day: “Carry a pocket thermometer to monitor water temperature.”
Normal for Nov 5: 18–41 ft³/s (middle half of 25 years of record). Now: 25.1 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 25.1 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 25 years of record (2002–2026): 10th 13, 25th 18, median 23, 75th 41, 90th 105 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 9.26 ft³/s, highest 178 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% 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 Georgia DNR Wildlife Resources Division: Georgia trout fishing and weekly stocking report · Georgia fishing regulations.
Below NWS action stage. The National Weather Service reports this gauge below its action stage. That is not a statement that wading is safe.
Flood categories: action stage, minor, moderate and major flooding (National Weather Service)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 9.4 mg/L at Nov 5, 9:00 PM EST; 7-day range 9.4–9.7 mg/L
Enough oxygen for coldwater fish: 9.4 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)pH 6.8 at Nov 5, 9:00 PM EST; 7-day range 6.8–6.9
Within EPA's freshwater range: pH 6.8 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 2.6 FNU at Nov 5, 9:00 PM EST; 7-day range 1.6–446 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)Specific conductance 56 µS/cm at Nov 5, 9:00 PM EST; 7-day range 55–56 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.
Below NWS action stage. The National Weather Service reports this gauge below its action stage. That is not a statement that wading is safe.
NWS observed 2.26 ft stage, 24 ft³/s at Nov 5, 8:00 PM EST (NWS gauge MBHG1; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
Forecasts are not available. Only observed stages are available for this point.

Checked Nov 5, 9:33 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.
