No flow at this gauge. USGS does not publish discharge here, so there are no flow statistics either; it reports what is shown. We found no other gauge on the same river that publishes flow.
Gauge height, last 7 days: 168 readings from Oct 30, 12:15 AM CDT to Nov 5, 10:00 PM CST; ranging 6.55 to 8.16 ft; latest 7.4 ft.

Map of USGS gauge 073802511 and the river around it
Where Barataria Waterway at Mud Lake S of Lafitte, LA sits.
Federal guidance. 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:
Stressful for trout. Water 78.6°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 79.2°F. At 68°F the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says rainbow trout “start stressing”, and the National Park Service at Grand Teton recommends that anglers “cease fishing at 2 p.m. when water temperatures are likely to exceed 68°F.” Its advice: “Fish early in the morning while the water temperature is cooler”, “Play and land fish quickly to reduce exhaustion stress” and “Keep the fish in the water as much as possible.”
High water temperatures prompt fishing advisory in Grand Teton National Park (29 July 2022)Steady over 24 hours (gauge height +0.12 ft). 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.
Turn Around Don't Drown (National Weather Service)Specific conductance 38,800 µS/cm at Nov 5, 10:00 PM CST; 7-day range 35,600–42,800 µS/cm
Dissolved ions: Specific conductance rises with the ions dissolved in the water. No fishing threshold is published for it; compare with this gauge's own recent readings.
Conductivity (Electrical Conductance) and Water (U.S. Geological Survey)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.
NWS observed 3.59 ft stage at Nov 5, 10:00 PM CST (NWS gauge BARL1; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS has not set flood categories for this gauge.
Graphical forecasts are not available during times of high water, forecast crest information can be found in the local WFO web page.

Checked Nov 5, 11:02 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.
