Map of USGS gauge 02335815 and the river around it
Where CHATTAHOOCHEE RIVER BELOW MORGAN FALLS DAM, GA sits, with 8 other gauges on the same river and our water's map point.
Normal for Nov 5: 1,080–2,080 ft³/s (middle half of 26 years of record). Now: 1,280 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 1,280 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 26 years of record (2001–2026): 10th 934, 25th 1,080, median 1,410, 75th 2,080, 90th 3,000 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 769 ft³/s, highest 6,820 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 19%, from 1,580 to 1,280 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.
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.
Species the agency lists for Chattahoochee River: trout, bass, catfish.
