About this gauge
Readings come from USGS monitoring location 02079241, ISLAND CREEK RESERVOIR AT DAM NEAR CLARKSVILLE, VA, 9.9 miles from the centre of Buggs Island Lake — Kerr. It reports reservoir elevation. Values refresh every 30 minutes and are provisional until the agency reviews them. Readings describe the reservoir at the gauge; a shallow arm miles upstream will not match them.
Fish Club protects exact catch locations by default. Records show the waterbody — never an angler's GPS pin.
Anglers must hold a valid fishing license for the state they're fishing. Always follow your local fishing rules and regulations. Handle fish with speed and care: wet hands, minimal air time, quick release.
