Map of USGS gauge 03069500 and the river around it
Where CHEAT RIVER NEAR PARSONS, WV sits, with 2 other gauges on the same river.
Federal guidance. West Virginia DNR publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a West Virginia rule:
Under the federal 68°F line. Water 56.8°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 57.4°F. That is under the 68°F at which the National Park Service, at Grand Teton National Park, recommends anglers stop fishing in the afternoon (“cease fishing at 2 p.m. when water temperatures are likely to exceed 68°F”). Water warms through the afternoon, so check again later in the day: “Carry a pocket thermometer to monitor water temperature.”
Normal for Nov 5: 347–1,410 ft³/s (middle half of 113 years of record). Now: 469 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 469 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 113 years of record (1914–2026): 10th 146, 25th 347, median 797, 75th 1,410, 90th 2,560 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 35 ft³/s, highest 70,000 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 32.5%, from 354 to 469 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.
Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources: West Virginia fish stocking schedule · West Virginia fishing regulations.
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)Rising water. Rising over the last 24 hours (discharge up 32.5%). 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.
Cold water. Water 56.8°F. NWS: “Cold shock can be just as severe and dangerous from water temperatures of 50-60°F (10-15°C) as it is from water at 35°F (2°C).” “Always wear a life jacket in and around the water.”
Cold Water Hazards and Safety (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)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 3.15 ft stage, 451 ft³/s at Nov 5, 8:15 PM EST (NWS gauge PSNW2; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS river forecast forecast issued Nov 5, 9:09 AM EST. Highest point: 3 ft, 381 ft³/s on Nov 5, 1:00 PM EST (Below NWS action stage).
| Day | Stage | Flow |
|---|---|---|
| Thu, Nov 5 | 3 ft | 381 ft³/s |
| Fri, Nov 6 | 3 ft | 381 ft³/s |
| Sat, Nov 7 | 3 ft | 381 ft³/s |
| Sun, Nov 8 | 2.9 ft | 336 ft³/s |
| Mon, Nov 9 | 2.9 ft | 336 ft³/s |
| Tue, Nov 10 | 2.8 ft | 294 ft³/s |
