Map of USGS gauge 02256500 and the river around it
Where FISHEATING CREEK AT PALMDALE, FL sits, with 2 other gauges on the same river.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a Florida rule: 68°F.

Normal for Nov 6: 20–198 ft³/s (middle half of 95 years of record). Now: 1,520 ft³/s, highest for this date on record.
Highest for this date on record for this date. 1,520 ft³/s is above the highest daily mean recorded on this date of daily mean flow for Nov 6 at this gauge over 95 years of record: 10th 6.42, 25th 20, median 73.7, 75th 198, 90th 412 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 6: lowest 0.53 ft³/s, highest 1,040 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 46.2%, from 1,040 to 1,520 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.
Above NWS action stage. Above action stage: high, fast water. Don't wade.
Flood categories: action stage, minor, moderate and major flooding (National Weather Service)NWS forecast: Minor flooding (NWS). The National Weather Service river forecast for this gauge reaches that category. Plan around it and check the forecast again before you go.
Flood categories: action stage, minor, moderate and major flooding (National Weather Service)Rising water. Rising over the last 24 hours (discharge up 46.2%). 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.
Flow above the record for this date. Higher than any daily mean USGS has recorded on this date at this gauge. Expect much higher, faster water than usual for the season.
