River Temperatures

Where can I find current River temps online?

I get river water levels from waterdata.usgs.gov. Only a few of the rivers have temperature gauges however.

As Scott posted above, river temperatures are not as numerous as are lake temperatures.

 

C, does the TWRA have any information on a specific body of water you are interested? You may want to check their web site to note if they can give you any direction such as the name and location of the TWRA officer who manages the river you want to fish.

 

In the meantime, please consider searching the Internet with the name of your river seeking fishing reports or other data.  You may find some information but the problem is that rivers meander all over Tennessee and they can have great differences in temperatures as they flow within the state.

 

I think all of us are interested in your findings so please post what you find so we can parlay that for everyone's use in the future.

 

Good luck.

Can't find any info online. So I bought a pool thermometer and I'm going to keep track myself. Made an excel chart with the surface temp, air temps, amount of rainfall, daily weather conditions, and sunrise and sunset. Should be interesting to see how all of this relates to water temperature and the amount of fish I catch.
