Map of USGS gauge 03497300 and the river around it
Where LITTLE RIVER ABOVE TOWNSEND, TN sits and our water's map point.
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 61.5°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 62.2°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.”
Normal for Nov 5: 61–231 ft³/s (middle half of 63 years of record). Now: 124 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 124 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 63 years of record (1964–2026): 10th 37, 25th 61, median 125, 75th 231, 90th 386 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 21.7 ft³/s, highest 509 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 82.1%, from 68.1 to 124 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.
This gauge is on our page for Little River, but no agency page we read lists its species.
Rising water. Rising over the last 24 hours (discharge up 82.1%). 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.
The National Weather Service has no flood-stage gauge here, so no official flood category is shown.
Checked Nov 5, 9:47 PM EST; readings refresh at most every 15 minutes and statistics daily. Provisional USGS data can be revised. Conditions change: re-check before you go. This is general guidance, not a fishing forecast, a safety guarantee or a statement about access.
