Today’s verdict
Clear.
264 CFS−284Flow
77°F−2°264 CFS is right around its typical level for July — this stretch typically runs 81–456 CFS.
Wading tends to be more manageable at typical flows, but beds shift and cold water saps strength fast — read the water, stay within your limits, and check conditions on-site. You remain responsible for your own safety.
At 77°F, the water is above the trout-stress threshold — consider resting the fish until it cools.

Conditions are estimates from USGS data. Always assess on-site conditions and use your own judgment.
The gauge below Webster Springs reads the upper Elk, the limestone-influenced freestone-and-spring water that holds wild and holdover trout through West Virginia's catch-and-release sections. It carries both flow and water temperature, so the conditions reflect the water you'll fish.
