Map of USGS gauge 02455000 and the river around it
Where LOCUST FORK NEAR CLEVELAND, AL. sits and our water's map point.
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.
Species the agency lists for Locust Fork: 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).
Normal for Nov 5: 15–178 ft³/s (middle half of 83 years of record). Now: 26.8 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 26.8 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 83 years of record (1938–2026): 10th 8.8, 25th 15, median 39, 75th 178, 90th 345 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 3.22 ft³/s, highest 5,440 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 17.5%, from 22.8 to 26.8 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.
Rising water. Rising over the last 24 hours (discharge up 17.5%). 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.
