Map of USGS gauge 03293510 and the river around it
Where BEARGRASS CREEK AT RIVER ROAD AT LOUISVILLE, KY sits, with 1 other gauge 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:
Under the federal 68°F line. Water 63°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 65.3°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: 2.3–34 ft³/s (middle half of 17 years of record). Now: 24.8 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 24.8 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 17 years of record (2010–2026): 10th -2.6, 25th 2.3, median 26, 75th 34, 90th 78 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest -3.92 ft³/s, highest 103 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 91.6%, from 297 to 24.8 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 Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources: Kentucky trout stocking schedule · Kentucky fishing and boating guide.
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 5.8 mg/L at Nov 5, 7:45 PM EST; 7-day range 2.7–6.4 mg/L
Below EPA's coldwater mean: 5.8 mg/L is under the 6.5 mg/L 30-day mean EPA sets for coldwater fish (other life stages), though above its 4 mg/L minimum. One reading is not a 30-day mean. Wyoming Game and Fish: “Higher water temperatures lead to lower oxygen levels.”
Quality Criteria for Water 1986 (“Gold Book”): dissolved oxygen, Table 1; pH (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency) Anglers encouraged to adjust fishing practices as temperatures rise (Wyoming Game and Fish Department)pH 7.6 at Nov 5, 7:45 PM EST; 7-day range 7.5–7.6
Within EPA's freshwater range: pH 7.6 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)Specific conductance 462 µS/cm at Nov 5, 7:45 PM EST; 7-day range 282–992 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.
NWS observed 7.87 ft stage at Nov 5, 7:45 PM EST (NWS gauge MLWK2; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS has not set flood categories for this gauge.
Forecasts are not available. Only observed stages are available for this point.

Checked Nov 5, 8:58 PM EST; readings refresh at most every 15 minutes and statistics daily. Provisional USGS data can be revised. Conditions change: re-check before you go. This is general guidance, not a fishing forecast, a safety guarantee or a statement about access.
