Map of USGS gauge 07364200 and the river around it
Where Bayou Bartholomew near Jones, LA sits, with 3 other gauges on the same river.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. We found no Louisiana agency water-temperature line for trout anglers. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a Louisiana rule: 68°F.
Normal for Nov 5: 34–686 ft³/s (middle half of 43 years of record). Now: 9.26 ft³/s, below normal.
Below normal for this date. 9.26 ft³/s is between the 10th and 25th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 43 years of record (1983–2025): 10th 6.4, 25th 34, median 121, 75th 686, 90th 1,600 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 0.78 ft³/s, highest 6,220 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).
Steady over 24 hours (−2% discharge). 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 list not on file for this gauge. Check the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries: Louisiana fishing regulations (official 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.
