The Floyds Fork is a freestone river in Kentucky, listed as Catch and release by Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources (Kentucky Fishing & Boating Guide).
4 USGS gauges on the water report flow.
Floyds Fork is a freestone river in Kentucky.
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.
On the Trout streams with a seasonal Catch and Release (No Harvest) season, Oct. 1 - March 31 list (Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources (Kentucky Fishing & Boating Guide), read 2026-10-20). All waters with this designation
Measured from the NHDPlus High Resolution (flowlines and waterbodies) (U.S. Geological Survey, read 2026-11-04) for this water’s own mapped feature. Rounded figures; they describe the channel, not today’s conditions.
Areas the Protected Areas Database of the United States (PAD-US), public access (U.S. Geological Survey, Gap Analysis Project, read 2026-11-05) lists as owned or held in easement and open to the public, crossed by the mapped channel.

Normal for Nov 5: 2.7–30 ft³/s (middle half of 35 years of record). Now: 59.8 ft³/s, above normal.
Above normal for this date. 59.8 ft³/s is between the 75th and 90th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 35 years of record (1992–2026): 10th 1.7, 25th 2.7, median 9.2, 75th 30, 90th 120 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 0.74 ft³/s, highest 333 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).
Falling over 24 hours: discharge down 14.8%, from 70.2 to 59.8 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.
NWS observed 4.29 ft stage at Nov 5, 5:45 PM EST (NWS gauge PVYK2; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS has not set flood categories for this gauge.

Federal guidance. Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife 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 Kentucky rule:
Under the federal 68°F line. Water 61°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 62.1°F. That is under the 68°F at which the National Park Service, at Grand Teton National Park, recommends anglers stop fishing in the afternoon (“cease fishing at 2 p.m. when water temperatures are likely to exceed 68°F”). Water warms through the afternoon, so check again later in the day: “Carry a pocket thermometer to monitor water temperature.”
High water temperatures prompt fishing advisory in Grand Teton National Park (29 July 2022) (National Park Service)This gauge is on our page for Floyds Fork, but no agency page we read lists its species.
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: 2.8–42 ft³/s (middle half of 81 years of record). Now: 146 ft³/s, above normal.
Above normal for this date. 146 ft³/s is between the 75th and 90th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 81 years of record (1945–2026): 10th 0.1, 25th 2.8, median 15, 75th 42, 90th 150 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 0 ft³/s, highest 573 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 (−9.9% 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.
NWS observed 1.74 ft stage at Nov 5, 5:20 PM EST (NWS gauge FSVK2; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).

Federal guidance. Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife 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 Kentucky rule:
Under the federal 68°F line. Water 63.1°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 64.4°F. That is under the 68°F at which the National Park Service, at Grand Teton National Park, recommends anglers stop fishing in the afternoon (“cease fishing at 2 p.m. when water temperatures are likely to exceed 68°F”). Water warms through the afternoon, so check again later in the day: “Carry a pocket thermometer to monitor water temperature.”
High water temperatures prompt fishing advisory in Grand Teton National Park (29 July 2022) (National Park Service)This gauge is on our page for Floyds Fork, but no agency page we read lists its species.

Normal for Nov 5: 22–173 ft³/s (middle half of 26 years of record). Now: 183 ft³/s, above normal.
Above normal for this date. 183 ft³/s is between the 75th and 90th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 26 years of record (2001–2026): 10th 11, 25th 22, median 63, 75th 173, 90th 509 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 6.25 ft³/s, highest 801 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 (+8.3% 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.
NWS observed 4.82 ft stage at Nov 5, 5:15 PM EST (NWS gauge MWTK2; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS has not set flood categories for this gauge.

Federal guidance. Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife 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 Kentucky rule:
Under the federal 68°F line. Water 62.8°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 63.7°F. That is under the 68°F at which the National Park Service, at Grand Teton National Park, recommends anglers stop fishing in the afternoon (“cease fishing at 2 p.m. when water temperatures are likely to exceed 68°F”). Water warms through the afternoon, so check again later in the day: “Carry a pocket thermometer to monitor water temperature.”
High water temperatures prompt fishing advisory in Grand Teton National Park (29 July 2022) (National Park Service)This gauge is on our page for Floyds Fork, but no agency page we read lists its species.
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.

Rising over 24 hours: gauge height up 0.55 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.
The National Weather Service has no flood-stage gauge here, so no official flood category is shown.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife 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 Kentucky rule: 68°F.
This gauge is on our page for Floyds Fork, but no agency page we read lists its species.
Rising water. Rising over the last 24 hours (gauge height up 0.55 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, 6:18 PM EST; 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.
