Map of USGS gauge 03290500 and the river around it
Where KENTUCKY RIVER AT LOCK 2 AT LOCKPORT, KY sits, with 4 other gauges on the same river.
Federal guidance. 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:
Normal for Nov 5: 762–4,470 ft³/s (middle half of 44 years of record). Now: 1,930 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 1,930 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 44 years of record (1977–2026): 10th 518, 25th 762, median 2,550, 75th 4,470, 90th 8,750 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 329 ft³/s, highest 35,400 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 12.2%, from 1,720 to 1,930 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.
Under the federal 68°F line. Water 63.1°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 64.8°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.”
High water temperatures prompt fishing advisory in Grand Teton National Park (29 July 2022) (National Park Service)Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources: Kentucky trout stocking schedule · Kentucky fishing and boating guide.
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 12.2%). 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.
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)Dissolved oxygen 7.3 mg/L at Nov 5, 10:45 PM EST; 7-day range 6.5–9.3 mg/L
Enough oxygen for coldwater fish: 7.3 mg/L meets the 6.5 mg/L EPA sets for coldwater fish (other life stages; eggs and fry need a 8 mg/L minimum).
Quality Criteria for Water 1986 (“Gold Book”): dissolved oxygen, Table 1; pH (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency)pH 7.7 at Nov 5, 10:45 PM EST; 7-day range 7.7–8
Within EPA's freshwater range: pH 7.7 is within the 6.5–9 range EPA gives for freshwater aquatic life.
Quality Criteria for Water 1986 (“Gold Book”): dissolved oxygen, Table 1; pH (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency)Turbidity 5.8 FNU at Nov 5, 10:45 PM EST; 7-day range 3–12.6 FNU
Water clarity: Turbidity measures the relative clarity of water: higher means murkier. No agency publishes a fishing threshold for it; compare with this gauge's own recent readings.
Turbidity and Water (U.S. Geological Survey)Specific conductance 352 µS/cm at Nov 5, 10:45 PM EST; 7-day range 351–366 µS/cm
Dissolved ions: Specific conductance rises with the ions dissolved in the water. No fishing threshold is published for it; compare with this gauge's own recent readings.
Conductivity (Electrical Conductance) and Water (U.S. Geological Survey)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 9.22 ft stage, 1,850 ft³/s at Nov 5, 9:30 PM EST (NWS gauge LPTK2; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS river forecast forecast issued Nov 5, 9:26 AM EST. Highest point: 9.3 ft, 1,990 ft³/s on Nov 5, 1:00 PM EST (Below NWS action stage).
| Day | Stage | Flow |
|---|---|---|
| Thu, Nov 5 | 9.3 ft | 1,990 ft³/s |
| Fri, Nov 6 | 9.2 ft | 1,820 ft³/s |
| Sat, Nov 7 | 9 ft | 1,520 ft³/s |
| Sun, Nov 8 | 8.7 ft | 852 ft³/s |
| Mon, Nov 9 | 8.5 ft | 577 ft³/s |
| Tue, Nov 10 | 8.5 ft | 577 ft³/s |
