Map of USGS gauge 03446000 and the river around it
Where MILLS RIVER NEAR MILLS RIVER, NC sits.
Federal guidance. NC Wildlife Resources Commission publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a North Carolina rule, with N.C. Cooperative Extension's own figure added:
Under the federal 68°F line. Water 60.1°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 60.8°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)Normal for Nov 5: 60–192 ft³/s (middle half of 94 years of record). Now: 282 ft³/s, above normal.
Above normal for this date. 282 ft³/s is between the 75th and 90th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 94 years of record (1925–2026): 10th 41, 25th 60, median 95, 75th 192, 90th 294 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 31 ft³/s, highest 507 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 72%, from 164 to 282 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 North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission: North Carolina daily trout stockings · North Carolina 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)Rising water. Rising over the last 24 hours (discharge up 72%). 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 2.59 ft stage, 276 ft³/s at Nov 5, 7:30 PM EST (NWS gauge MRSN7; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
Forecasts are not available. Only observed stages are available for this point.
