The Guyandotte River is a freestone river in West Virginia, listed as Catch and release by West Virginia Division of Natural Resources.
4 USGS gauges on the water report flow.
Guyandotte River is a freestone river in West Virginia.
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.

USGS publishes no daily statistics for this gauge, so the reading is not compared with the record.
Steady over 24 hours (+3.8% 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.
NWS observed 0.56 ft stage, 111 ft³/s at Nov 5, 6:05 PM EST (NWS gauge PINW2; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
Forecasts are issued as needed during times of high water, but are not routinely available.

Normal for Nov 5: 64–233 ft³/s (middle half of 58 years of record). Now: 112 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 112 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 58 years of record (1969–2026): 10th 48, 25th 64, median 82, 75th 233, 90th 416 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 30 ft³/s, highest 676 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 (+5.7% 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.
NWS observed 3.14 ft stage, 112 ft³/s at Nov 5, 6:30 PM EST (NWS gauge BAIW2; 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. West Virginia DNR publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a West Virginia rule: 68°F.
This gauge is on our page for Guyandotte River, but no agency page we read lists its species.

Normal for Nov 5: 231–625 ft³/s (middle half of 47 years of record). Now: 472 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 472 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 47 years of record (1980–2026): 10th 172, 25th 231, median 396, 75th 625, 90th 1,470 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 89 ft³/s, highest 2,340 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).
Steady over 24 hours (+4.4% 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.
NWS observed 5.34 ft stage, 470 ft³/s at Nov 5, 6:15 PM EST (NWS gauge LOGW2; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS river forecast forecast issued Nov 5, 4:57 PM EST. Highest point: 5.4 ft, 510 ft³/s on Nov 5, 7:00 PM EST (Below NWS action stage).
