Not compared with the record because the reading is old.
Steady over 24 hours (gauge height −0.11 ft). 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. Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a Alabama rule: 68°F.
Species the agency lists for Conecuh River: Chain Pickerel, Crappie, Largemouth Bass.
