Map of USGS gauge 02208450 and the river around it
Where ALCOVY RIVER ABOVE COVINGTON, GA sits, with 3 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:
Normal for Nov 5: 47–159 ft³/s (middle half of 54 years of record). Now: 39.6 ft³/s, below normal.
Below normal for this date. 39.6 ft³/s is between the 10th and 25th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 54 years of record (1973–2026): 10th 27, 25th 47, median 99, 75th 159, 90th 485 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 17.1 ft³/s, highest 1,160 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 53.5%, from 25.8 to 39.6 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.
Under the federal 68°F line. Water 66.9°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 67.3°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.”
High water temperatures prompt fishing advisory in Grand Teton National Park (29 July 2022) (National Park Service)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)Rising water. Rising over the last 24 hours (discharge up 53.5%). 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 7.2 mg/L at Nov 5, 10:00 PM EST; 7-day range 7.2–8.9 mg/L
Enough oxygen for coldwater fish: 7.2 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 6.9 at Nov 5, 10:00 PM EST; 7-day range 6.9–7.1
Within EPA's freshwater range: pH 6.9 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 10 FNU at Nov 5, 10:00 PM EST; 7-day range 8.1–17.8 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 87 µS/cm at Nov 5, 10:00 PM EST; 7-day range 84–88 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 1.8 ft stage, 44 ft³/s at Nov 5, 10:00 PM EST (NWS gauge ACYG1; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
Forecasts are not available. Only observed stages are available for this point.
