Map of USGS gauge 02423160 and the river around it
Where CAHABA RIVER NEAR WHITES CHAPEL AL sits, with 7 other gauges on the same river and our water's map point.
Normal for Nov 5: 9.6–23 ft³/s (middle half of 15 years of record). Now: 18.3 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 18.3 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 15 years of record (2012–2026): 10th 5.7, 25th 9.6, median 13, 75th 23, 90th 37 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 3.06 ft³/s, highest 41.3 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 53.6%, from 39.4 to 18.3 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.
The agency list on file names no trout, salmon or steelhead here; these are the lines for coldwater fish if you are after them.
Federal guidance. 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:
Stressful for trout. Water 65.8°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.”
High water temperatures prompt fishing advisory in Grand Teton National Park (29 July 2022) (National Park Service) Up a climate-stressed creek (9 June 2023) (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service)Species the agency lists for Cahaba River: Bluegill, Chain Pickerel, Crappie, Largemouth Bass, Longear Sunfish, Spotted Bass.
Source: Rivers and Mobile Delta: WFF river fishing pages that feature black bass (Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Division).
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)Dissolved oxygen 7.6 mg/L at Nov 5, 8:00 PM CST; 7-day range 7.2–11.9 mg/L
Enough oxygen for coldwater fish: 7.6 mg/L meets the 6.5 mg/L EPA sets for coldwater fish (other life stages; eggs and fry need a 8 mg/L minimum).
Quality Criteria for Water 1986 (“Gold Book”): dissolved oxygen, Table 1; pH (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency)pH 7.7 at Nov 5, 8:00 PM CST; 7-day range 7.7–8.4
Within EPA's freshwater range: pH 7.7 is within the 6.5–9 range EPA gives for freshwater aquatic life.
Quality Criteria for Water 1986 (“Gold Book”): dissolved oxygen, Table 1; pH (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency)Turbidity 7.8 FNU at Nov 5, 8:00 PM CST; 7-day range 2.5–36.8 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 212 µS/cm at Nov 5, 8:00 PM CST; 7-day range 190–416 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 1.32 ft stage at Nov 5, 8:15 PM CST (NWS gauge CWCA1; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
Forecasts are not available. Only observed stages are available for this point.
