Map of USGS gauge 02481000 and the river around it
Where BILOXI RIVER AT WORTHAM, MS sits, with 1 other gauge on the same river.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. We found no Mississippi agency water-temperature line for trout anglers. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a Mississippi rule: 68°F.
Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks / Mississippi Department of Marine Resources: Mississippi public fishing lakes · Mississippi general fishing rules and regulations.
Normal for Nov 5: 7.6–57 ft³/s (middle half of 73 years of record). Now: 16.2 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 16.2 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 73 years of record (1953–2026): 10th 4.6, 25th 7.6, median 28, 75th 57, 90th 211 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 1.1 ft³/s, highest 993 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).
Steady over 24 hours (−7.4% discharge). 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.
