Map of USGS gauge 02381600 and the river around it
Where FAUSETT CREEK NEAR TALKING ROCK, GA sits and our water's map point.
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.
This gauge is on our page for Fausett Creek, but no agency page we read lists its species.
Normal for Nov 5: 5.1–9.9 ft³/s (middle half of 52 years of record). Now: 10.5 ft³/s, above normal.
Above normal for this date. 10.5 ft³/s is between the 75th and 90th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 52 years of record (1975–2026): 10th 3.1, 25th 5.1, median 7.7, 75th 9.9, 90th 15 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 0.27 ft³/s, highest 183 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 41%, from 17.8 to 10.5 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.
Flood categories: action stage, minor, moderate and major flooding (National Weather Service)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.

Below NWS action stage. The National Weather Service reports this gauge below its action stage. That is not a statement that wading is safe.
NWS observed 1.57 ft stage, 19 ft³/s at Nov 5, 8:45 PM EST (NWS gauge FCTG1; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
