Map of USGS gauge 03320000 and the river around it
Where GREEN RIVER AT LOCK 2 AT CALHOUN, KY sits, with 5 other gauges on the same river.
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: 2,163–7,925 ft³/s (middle half of 96 years of record). Now: 8,130 ft³/s, above normal.
Above normal for this date. 8,130 ft³/s is between the 75th and 90th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 96 years of record: 10th 804, 25th 2,163, median 5,375, 75th 7,925, 90th 11,850 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 320 ft³/s, highest 25,200 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 26.4%, from 6,430 to 8,130 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.
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 26.4%). 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)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 12.3 ft stage, 8,040 ft³/s at Nov 5, 10:00 PM CST (NWS gauge CALK2; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS river forecast forecast issued Nov 5, 9:07 AM CST. Highest point: 12.4 ft, 8,430 ft³/s on Nov 7, 12:00 PM CST (Below NWS action stage).
