Map of USGS gauge 07057370 and the river around it
Where White River near Norfork, AR sits, with 5 other gauges on the same river and our water's map point.
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.
Normal for Nov 5: 3,030–7,060 ft³/s (middle half of 23 years of record). Now: 1,490 ft³/s, below normal.
Below normal for this date. 1,490 ft³/s is between the 10th and 25th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 23 years of record (2004–2026): 10th 1,130, 25th 3,030, median 4,880, 75th 7,060, 90th 17,000 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 488 ft³/s, highest 64,200 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 17.3%, from 1,270 to 1,490 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 White River: rainbow trout, brown trout.
Source: Bull Shoals Tailwater • Arkansas Game & Fish Commission (Arkansas Game and Fish Commission).
Rising water. Rising over the last 24 hours (discharge up 17.3%). 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, 9:55 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.
