Fishery overview
The Cahaba River at Centreville is Alabama's Monitoring-Backed free-flowing Cahaba destination. StrikeTracks publishes FLOW-PRIMARY conditions from USGS 02424000 using live discharge and stage. Water temperature is not labeled because live 00010 is not present at Centreville. ADCNR Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries treats the Cahaba as a warmwater bass, bream, and catfish river with a biodiversity identity distinct from the Tennessee River TVA pools. This is not Hoover and not Mountain Brook.
