Map of USGS gauge 01029100 and the river around it
Where E. Br. Penobscot River below Grand Lake Matagamon sits, with 1 other gauge on the same river and our water's map point.
Cool enough for trout and salmon. Water 47.8°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 50°F. Maine IF&W: trout and landlocked salmon “thrive in cool (≤ 68°F), clean, well-oxygenated water.” On warm days, “Fish early in the morning when surface water temperatures are cooler.”
USGS publishes no daily statistics for this gauge, so the reading is not compared with the record.
Steady over 24 hours (+0% discharge). Rising or falling means a change of more than 10% in discharge (or 0.2 ft of gauge height) over 24 hours; our rule of thumb, not a USGS class.
This gauge is on our page for East Branch Penobscot River, but no agency page we read lists its species.
Below NWS action stage. The National Weather Service reports this gauge below its action stage. That is not a statement that wading is safe.
Flood categories: action stage, minor, moderate and major flooding (National Weather Service)Cold water. Water 47.8°F. NWS: “Cold shock can be just as severe and dangerous from water temperatures of 50-60°F (10-15°C) as it is from water at 35°F (2°C).” “Always wear a life jacket in and around the water.”
Cold Water Hazards and Safety (National Weather Service)Turn Around Don't Drown. “A mere 6 inches of fast-moving flood water can knock over an adult.” No flow number makes a crossing safe; if in doubt, stay out.
Turn Around Don't Drown (National Weather Service)Guidance from the readings above and the published thresholds named with each line; not a fishing forecast, a safety guarantee or a statement about access. Local rules and closures come first.
Below NWS action stage. The National Weather Service reports this gauge below its action stage. That is not a statement that wading is safe.
NWS observed 2.45 ft stage, 180 ft³/s at Nov 5, 9:45 PM EST (NWS gauge GLMM1; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
