Map of USGS gauge 02423586 and the river around it
Where SHADES CREEK NR HOMEWOOD, ALA sits, with 2 other gauges on the same river and our water's map point.
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:
Normal for Nov 5: 4.9–14.9 ft³/s (middle half of 14 years of record). Now: 12.7 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 12.7 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 14 years of record: 10th 3.95, 25th 4.9, median 10.4, 75th 14.9, 90th 197 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 3.8 ft³/s, highest 367 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 78.1%, from 57.9 to 12.7 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.
Stressful for trout. Water 66.6°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 69.6°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 Shades Creek: Largemouth Bass, 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)Turbidity 2.4 FNU at Nov 5, 10:00 PM CST; 7-day range 1.1–139 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 264 µS/cm at Nov 5, 10:00 PM CST; 7-day range 119–356 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 3.61 ft stage at Nov 5, 10:15 PM CST (NWS gauge SCHA1; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
Forecasts are not available. Only observed stages are available for this point.
