No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife 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 Kentucky rule: 68°F.

Normal for Nov 5: 0.43–2.7 ft³/s (middle half of 27 years of record). Now: 1.65 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 1.65 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 27 years of record (2000–2026): 10th 0.24, 25th 0.43, median 1.1, 75th 2.7, 90th 18 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 0.04 ft³/s, highest 33.4 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).
Falling over 24 hours: discharge down 85.7%, from 11.5 to 1.65 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.
Below NWS action stage. The National Weather Service reports this gauge below its action stage. That is not a statement that wading is safe.
