Map of USGS gauge 02290878 and the river around it
Where BROAD RIVER NEAR THE CUTOFF, FL sits.
Federal guidance. 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:
Stressful for trout. Water 81.7°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 82.2°F. At 68°F the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says rainbow trout “start stressing”, and the National Park Service at Grand Teton recommends that anglers “cease fishing at 2 p.m. when water temperatures are likely to exceed 68°F.” Its advice: “Fish early in the morning while the water temperature is cooler”, “Play and land fish quickly to reduce exhaustion stress” and “Keep the fish in the water as much as possible.”
High water temperatures prompt fishing advisory in Grand Teton National Park (29 July 2022)Normal for Nov 5: 161–668 ft³/s (middle half of 23 years of record). Now: 777 ft³/s, above normal.
Above normal for this date. 777 ft³/s is between the 75th and 90th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 23 years of record (2002–2025): 10th -102, 25th 161, median 478, 75th 668, 90th 994 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest -259 ft³/s, highest 1,150 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 96.7%, from 395 to 777 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.

Rising water. Rising over the last 24 hours (discharge up 96.7%). 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)Specific conductance 21,500 µS/cm at Nov 5, 8:30 PM EST; 7-day range 20,600–50,200 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.
The National Weather Service has no flood-stage gauge here, so no official flood category is shown.
Checked Nov 5, 9:31 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.
