Map of USGS gauge 03202400 and the river around it
Where GUYANDOTTE RIVER NEAR BAILEYSVILLE, WV sits, with 3 other gauges on the same river and our water's map point.
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.
Normal for Nov 5: 64–233 ft³/s (middle half of 58 years of record). Now: 112 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 112 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 58 years of record (1969–2026): 10th 48, 25th 64, median 82, 75th 233, 90th 416 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 30 ft³/s, highest 676 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 (+3.7% 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.
This gauge is on our page for Guyandotte River, but no agency page we read lists its species.
