Map of USGS gauge 0307020015 and the river around it
Where CHEAT RIVER BELOW SALTLICK CREEK AT ROWLESBURG, WV sits, with 3 other gauges on the same river.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. 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: 68°F.
USGS publishes no daily statistics for this gauge, so the reading is not compared with the record.
Steady over 24 hours (+9.5% 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.
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.
