Map of USGS gauge 07380120 and the river around it
Where Amite River at Port Vincent, LA sits, with 6 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: 323–1,320 ft³/s (middle half of 24 years of record). Now: 587 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 587 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 24 years of record (1988–2015): 10th -71, 25th 323, median 528, 75th 1,320, 90th 2,360 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest -261 ft³/s, highest 5,670 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 (−2.5% 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.
