Where Sheepscot River at North Whitefield, Maine sits and our water's map point.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer: the trout lines Maine IF&W uses are 68°F.
This gauge is on our page for Sheepscot River, but no agency page we read lists its species.
Steady over 24 hours (gauge height +0.04 ft). 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.
