Map of USGS gauge 02389150 and the river around it
Where ETOWAH RIVER AT GA 9, NEAR DAWSONVILLE, GA sits, with 5 other gauges on the same river and our water's map point.
Normal for Nov 5: 98–236 ft³/s (middle half of 24 years of record). Now: 305 ft³/s, above normal.
Above normal for this date. 305 ft³/s is between the 75th and 90th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 24 years of record (2003–2026): 10th 51, 25th 98, median 135, 75th 236, 90th 382 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 50.2 ft³/s, highest 468 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).
Rising over 24 hours: discharge up 82.6%, from 167 to 305 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.
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:
Under the federal 68°F line. Water 63.1°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 63.5°F. That is under the 68°F at which the National Park Service, at Grand Teton National Park, recommends anglers stop fishing in the afternoon (“cease fishing at 2 p.m. when water temperatures are likely to exceed 68°F”). Water warms through the afternoon, so check again later in the day: “Carry a pocket thermometer to monitor water temperature.”
High water temperatures prompt fishing advisory in Grand Teton National Park (29 July 2022) (National Park Service)This gauge is on our page for Etowah River, but no agency page we read lists its species.
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)Rising water. Rising over the last 24 hours (discharge up 82.6%). Keep your way back to the bank in sight and watch the level while you fish. “Rising” is our rule of thumb: more than 10% in discharge or 0.2 ft of gauge height in 24 hours, not a USGS or NWS class.
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)Turbidity 51.7 FNU at Nov 5, 10:00 PM EST; 7-day range 5.9–453 FNU
Water clarity: Turbidity measures the relative clarity of water: higher means murkier. No agency publishes a fishing threshold for it; compare with this gauge's own recent readings.
Turbidity and Water (U.S. Geological Survey)Specific conductance 25 µS/cm at Nov 5, 10:00 PM EST; 7-day range 25–54 µS/cm
Dissolved ions: Specific conductance rises with the ions dissolved in the water. No fishing threshold is published for it; compare with this gauge's own recent readings.
Conductivity (Electrical Conductance) and Water (U.S. Geological Survey)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 4.93 ft stage, 304 ft³/s at Nov 5, 10:00 PM EST (NWS gauge DWSG1; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS river forecast forecast issued Nov 5, 10:06 AM EST. Highest point: 5.4 ft, 423 ft³/s on Nov 5, 1:00 PM EST (Below NWS action stage).
| Day | Stage | Flow |
|---|---|---|
| Thu, Nov 5 | 5.4 ft | 423 ft³/s |
| Fri, Nov 6 | 4.8 ft | 274 ft³/s |
| Sat, Nov 7 | 4 ft | 124 ft³/s |
