For years I did not pay much attention to river flow levels. If i had
some time to fish I just showed up and whatever was happening, whether
at flood or dewatered, I was there and made the best of it.

But the last few years, and especially since I bought a streach, Ive
been paying much more attention. Washington state has a pretty
extensive set of flow and temp measuring stations linked by telemetry
to a website.

What are other States doing? Where do you go for current flow data?
How close to realtime is the data you can access?

National data.Frequency of reporting varies by state and individual
site. MA, for instance varies from 12 hrs to 2 hrs in reporting
frequencies. Generally larger streams report more frequently. A few
sites also report water temp.

Operated by hydro power companies in New England. Reports are
discharge rates from various hydro dams. Generally within 5 minutes of
real time.

Thanx George. I noticed on the USGS site that some of the Mass. flow
stations have lost their funding and will be shut down. I wonder if
that is happening across the country.

The site for the TVA area which includes TN, NC, GA, and ALA is:
http://www.tva.com/river/lakeinfo/index.htm
It gives info on the tailwaters as well as some free flowing streams
in the area, especially those in and around the Smokeys.
