Map of USGS gauge 03559500 and the river around it
Where OCOEE RIVER AT COPPERHILL, 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 63.7°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 64.8°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.”
Not ranked: USGS has fewer than 10 years of daily flows for this date here.
Falling over 24 hours: discharge down 28.4%, from 1,350 to 966 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 the agency lists for Ocoee River: Rainbow Trout.
Source: Tailwater Trout (TWRA-stocked tailwaters below dams) (Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (official Tennessee Fishing Guide, eRegulations edition)).
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, 10:52 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.
