Map of USGS gauge 03433500 and the river around it
Where HARPETH RIVER AT BELLEVUE, TN sits, with 6 other gauges on the same river.
Normal for Nov 5: 26–239 ft³/s (middle half of 95 years of record). Now: 1,000 ft³/s, much above normal.
Much above normal for this date. 1,000 ft³/s is above the 90th percentile of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 95 years of record (1932–2026): 10th 16, 25th 26, median 68, 75th 239, 90th 648 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 3.6 ft³/s, highest 2,760 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 51.7%, from 2,070 to 1,000 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.
Federal guidance. Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a Tennessee rule:
Under the federal 68°F line. Water 63.9°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 65.8°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 Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency: Tennessee trout fishing and stockings · Tennessee fishing regulations.
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)Flow far above normal. Above the 90th percentile of daily mean flow for this date (USGS class “much above normal”), from 95 years of record. Expect higher, faster water than usual for the season.
hyswap: flow categories (WDFN_stats schema) (U.S. Geological Survey) Statistics documentation (percentiles of daily mean discharge) (U.S. Geological Survey)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 7.7 mg/L at Nov 5, 9:30 PM CST; 7-day range 7–13.2 mg/L
Enough oxygen for coldwater fish: 7.7 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, 9:30 PM CST; 7-day range 7.6–8.5
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 93.4 FNU at Nov 5, 9:30 PM CST; 7-day range 12–297 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 419 µS/cm at Nov 5, 9:30 PM CST; 7-day range 202–624 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 3.13 ft stage, 1,000 ft³/s at Nov 5, 9:30 PM CST (NWS gauge BELT1; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS river forecast forecast issued Nov 5, 9:44 AM CST. Highest point: 4 ft, 1,680 ft³/s on Nov 5, 12:00 PM CST (Below NWS action stage).
| Day | Stage | Flow |
|---|---|---|
| Thu, Nov 5 | 4 ft | 1,680 ft³/s |
| Fri, Nov 6 | 2.6 ft | 649 ft³/s |
