Map of USGS gauge 03297800 and the river around it
Where CEDAR CREEK AT HWY 1442 NEAR SHEPHERDSVILLE, 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 57.4°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 61.5°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: 0.41–10 ft³/s (middle half of 22 years of record). Now: 4.58 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 4.58 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 22 years of record (2003–2026): 10th 0.01, 25th 0.41, median 3.4, 75th 10, 90th 71 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 0 ft³/s, highest 99.5 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 69.5%, from 15 to 4.58 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.
Cold water. Water 57.4°F. NWS: “Cold shock can be just as severe and dangerous from water temperatures of 50-60°F (10-15°C) as it is from water at 35°F (2°C).” “Always wear a life jacket in and around the water.”
Cold Water Hazards and Safety (National Weather Service)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 7.9 mg/L at Nov 5, 10:15 PM EST; 7-day range 4.8–8.4 mg/L
Enough oxygen for coldwater fish: 7.9 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 8.1 at Nov 5, 10:15 PM EST; 7-day range 7.8–8.2
Within EPA's freshwater range: pH 8.1 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 499 µS/cm at Nov 5, 10:15 PM EST; 7-day range 443–563 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.
The National Weather Service has no flood-stage gauge here, so no official flood category is shown.
Checked Nov 5, 11:25 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.
