Map of USGS gauge 08044000 and the river around it
Where Big Sandy Ck nr Bridgeport, TX sits.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer: the trout lines Texas Parks and Wildlife uses are 70°F and 74°F.

Normal for Nov 5: 0–17 ft³/s (middle half of 62 years of record). Now: 6.09 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 6.09 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 62 years of record (1956–2026): 10th 0, 25th 0, median 3.7, 75th 17, 90th 74 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 0 ft³/s, highest 1,330 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 (+0% 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.
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.
