Good: Good conditions: fish normally

If you're fishing for trout here: 60.8°F now, 63.7°F at most in 24 hours: under the National Park Service's 68°F line (federal guidance; no Kentucky line found). National Park Service
Flow 5.22 ft³/s: above normal for Nov 5, over 28 years of USGS record. U.S. Geological Survey
Falling: discharge down 67.6% in 24 hours (16.1 to 5.22 ft³/s). Our rule of thumb: more than 10% (or 0.2 ft) in 24 hours, not a USGS class.

Conditions for fishing general guidance

Water temperature for trout, salmon and steelhead

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 60.8°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 63.7°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)
