Map of USGS gauge 0351706800 and the river around it
Where CHEOAH RIVER NR BEARPEN GAP NR TAPOCO, 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 65.1°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 65.7°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: 61–116 ft³/s (middle half of 27 years of record). Now: 115 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 115 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 27 years of record (2000–2026): 10th 21, 25th 61, median 97, 75th 116, 90th 212 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 13 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).
Falling over 24 hours: discharge down 20.7%, from 145 to 115 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.
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 2.87 ft stage, 161 ft³/s at Nov 5, 8:00 PM EST (NWS gauge TAPN7; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
Graphical forecasts are not available during times of high water, forecast crest information can be found in the local WFO web page.
