Map of USGS gauge 07382000 and the river around it
Where Bayou Cocodrie near Clearwater, LA sits.
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.
Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries: Louisiana fishing regulations (official eRegulations edition).
Normal for Nov 5: 78–266 ft³/s (middle half of 89 years of record). Now: 383 ft³/s, above normal.
Above normal for this date. 383 ft³/s is between the 75th and 90th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 89 years of record (1923–2025): 10th 50, 25th 78, median 130, 75th 266, 90th 768 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 5.4 ft³/s, highest 4,930 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 (−8.6% 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.
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.
