Map of USGS gauge 07268000 and the river around it
Where LITTLE TALLAHATCHIE RIVER AT ETTA, MS sits.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. We found no Mississippi agency water-temperature line for trout anglers. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a Mississippi rule: 68°F.
Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks / Mississippi Department of Marine Resources: Mississippi public fishing lakes · Mississippi general fishing rules and regulations.
Normal for Nov 5: 31–135 ft³/s (middle half of 86 years of record). Now: 58 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 58 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 86 years of record (1939–2026): 10th 20, 25th 31, median 58, 75th 135, 90th 527 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 8.8 ft³/s, highest 5,290 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 27.5%, from 80 to 58 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.

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 river forecast forecast issued Nov 5, 9:46 AM CST. Highest point: 10.7 ft, 70 ft³/s on Nov 5, 12:00 PM CST (Below NWS action stage).
