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.

Normal for Nov 5: 2.1–6 ft³/s (middle half of 21 years of record). Now: 5.31 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 5.31 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 21 years of record (2006–2026): 10th 0.71, 25th 2.1, median 3.8, 75th 6, 90th 9.3 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 0.13 ft³/s, highest 19.8 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 67.6%, from 16.4 to 5.31 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.
