The Pea River is a freestone river in Alabama, listed as Agency-named bass water by Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Division.
3 USGS gauges on the water report flow; Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Division lists 7 species, including bluegill, hybrid striped bass and largemouth bass.
Pea River is a freestone river in Alabama.
Pick one of its USGS gauges and hear from us when the flow moves into or out of its usual range for the date, or crosses a flow you set. We check the public USGS reading every 2 hours and email only when it crosses, at most once every 6 hours. Flow alone is not a fishing forecast or a safety call.
Signed in: one step. Otherwise we email a confirmation link first. Every alert has one-click links to stop it.
Start from the agency's public access map. Nothing on this page grants or implies access: check the agency map, posted signs and landowner permission before you fish.

Seasons, limits, special regulations and closures for each reach are on the agency pages below. Read them before you go.
Each comes from the agency's own published list; where the list names a reach it is quoted. A designation applies to the listed reach, not necessarily the whole water. Listed in the finder under bass.

Normal for Nov 5: 49–224 ft³/s (middle half of 71 years of record). Now: 128 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 128 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 71 years of record (1939–2026): 10th 21, 25th 49, median 88, 75th 224, 90th 349 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 14 ft³/s, highest 1,340 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).
Rising over 24 hours: discharge up 17.4%, from 109 to 128 ft³/s. 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.
NWS observed 2.32 ft stage, 132 ft³/s at Nov 5, 4:00 PM CST (NWS gauge ARTA1; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS river forecast forecast issued Nov 5, 7:13 AM CST. Highest point: 2.3 ft, 127 ft³/s on Nov 5, 12:00 PM CST (Below NWS action stage).

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)Rising water. Rising over the last 24 hours (discharge up 17.4%). Keep your way back to the bank in sight and watch the level while you fish. “Rising” is our rule of thumb: more than 10% in discharge or 0.2 ft of gauge height in 24 hours, not a USGS or NWS 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.

Normal for Nov 5: 275–668 ft³/s (middle half of 69 years of record). Now: 597 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 597 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 69 years of record (1905–2026): 10th 212, 25th 275, median 381, 75th 668, 90th 1,030 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 127 ft³/s, highest 2,400 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).
Rising over 24 hours: discharge up 21.3%, from 492 to 597 ft³/s. 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.
NWS observed 7.22 ft stage, 1,090 ft³/s at Nov 5, 4:30 PM CST (NWS gauge SSNA1; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
Forecasts are not available. Only observed stages are available for this point.

No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a Alabama rule: 68°F.
Species the agency lists for Pea River: Bluegill, Hybrid Striped Bass, Largemouth Bass, Longear Sunfish, Redbreast Sunfish, Spotted Bass, Striped Bass.
Source: Rivers and Mobile Delta: WFF river fishing pages that feature black bass (Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Division).
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)Rising water. Rising over the last 24 hours (discharge up 21.3%). Keep your way back to the bank in sight and watch the level while you fish. “Rising” is our rule of thumb: more than 10% in discharge or 0.2 ft of gauge height in 24 hours, not a USGS or NWS 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.
Turn Around Don't Drown (National Weather Service)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.

No flow at this gauge. USGS does not publish discharge here, so there are no flow statistics either; it reports what is shown. Flow on the same river: PEA RIVER NEAR ARITON AL (USGS 02363000, 20.7 miles away).

Rising over 24 hours: gauge height up 0.35 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.
NWS category unavailable. NWS did not report a flood category for this gauge.
NWS observed 0.5 ft stage at Nov 5, 4:00 PM CST (NWS gauge ELBA1; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).

No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a Alabama rule: 68°F.
Species the agency lists for Pea River: Bluegill, Hybrid Striped Bass, Largemouth Bass, Longear Sunfish, Redbreast Sunfish, Spotted Bass, Striped Bass.

Rising water. Rising over the last 24 hours (gauge height up 0.35 ft). Keep your way back to the bank in sight and watch the level while you fish. “Rising” is our rule of thumb: more than 10% in discharge or 0.2 ft of gauge height in 24 hours, not a USGS or NWS 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.
Turn Around Don't Drown (National Weather Service)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.
Checked Nov 5, 5:18 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.
