Map of USGS gauge 03463300 and the river around it
Where SOUTH TOE RIVER NEAR CELO, NC sits and our water's map point.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. 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: 68°F and 70°F.
This gauge is on our page for South Toe River, but no agency page we read lists its species.
Normal for Nov 5: 49–135 ft³/s (middle half of 69 years of record). Now: 153 ft³/s, above normal.
Above normal for this date. 153 ft³/s is between the 75th and 90th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 69 years of record (1958–2026): 10th 27, 25th 49, median 85, 75th 135, 90th 289 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 21 ft³/s, highest 1,480 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 49.3%, from 302 to 153 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.
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)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.

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 1.11 ft stage, 155 ft³/s at Nov 5, 10:30 PM EST (NWS gauge STRN7; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
