Map of USGS gauge 07056515 and the river around it
Where Bear Creek near Silver Hill, AR sits.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer: the trout lines Arkansas Game and Fish uses are 65°F and 68°F.
Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission: Arkansas trout fishing · Arkansas fishing regulations.
Normal for Nov 5: 8.4–63 ft³/s (middle half of 27 years of record). Now: 16 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 16 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 5.7, 25th 8.4, median 18, 75th 63, 90th 447 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 5.38 ft³/s, highest 1,970 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 35.7%, from 24.9 to 16 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.
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.

The National Weather Service has no flood-stage gauge here, so no official flood category is shown.
Checked Nov 5, 9:52 PM CST; 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.
