Where BIG CREEK AT GA 9, NEAR CUMMING, GA sits.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. 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: 68°F and 72°F.

Normal for Nov 5: 17–37 ft³/s (middle half of 17 years of record). Now: 35.2 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 35.2 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 17 years of record (2008–2024): 10th 12, 25th 17, median 29, 75th 37, 90th 58 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 11.9 ft³/s, highest 82 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).
Falling over 24 hours: discharge down 73.3%, from 132 to 35.2 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.
Below NWS action stage. The National Weather Service reports this gauge below its action stage. That is not a statement that wading is safe.
