About this gauge
Readings come from USGS monitoring location 02098197, B. EVERETT JORDAN LAKE AT DAM NR MONCURE, NC, 4.1 miles from the centre of Jordan Lake. 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.
