Map of USGS gauge 02449882 and the river around it
Where BLUE SPRINGS CREEK NEAR BLOUNTSVILLE, AL. sits.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. 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: 68°F.

Normal for Nov 5: 0.76–7.59 ft³/s (middle half of 34 years of record). Now: 1.2 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 1.2 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 34 years of record: 10th 0.37, 25th 0.76, median 1.5, 75th 7.59, 90th 24 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest -0 ft³/s, highest 84.8 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 69.7%, from 3.96 to 1.2 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.
