Map of USGS gauge 02382500 and the river around it
Where COOSAWATTEE RIVER AT CARTERS, GA sits, with 3 other gauges on the same river.
Federal guidance. 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:
Normal for Nov 5: 311–785 ft³/s (middle half of 52 years of record). Now: 367 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 367 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 52 years of record (1975–2026): 10th 263, 25th 311, median 401, 75th 785, 90th 1,080 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 237 ft³/s, highest 2,530 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).
Steady over 24 hours (+1.1% discharge). 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.
Stressful for trout. Water 68.5°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 68.9°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.”

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.
Turn Around Don't Drown (National Weather Service)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.
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 4.21 ft stage, 360 ft³/s at Nov 5, 8:15 PM EST (NWS gauge CATG1; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
Forecasts are not available. Only observed stages are available for this point.
