Map of USGS gauge 010642505 and the river around it
Where SACO RIVER AT RIVER STREET, AT BARTLETT, NH sits, with 1 other gauge on the same river and our water's map point.
Federal guidance. New Hampshire Fish and Game Department publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a New Hampshire rule:
Under the federal 68°F line. Water 52.3°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 52.5°F. That is under the 68°F at which the National Park Service, at Grand Teton National Park, recommends anglers stop fishing in the afternoon (“cease fishing at 2 p.m. when water temperatures are likely to exceed 68°F”). Water warms through the afternoon, so check again later in the day: “Carry a pocket thermometer to monitor water temperature.”
Normal for Nov 5: 130–348 ft³/s (middle half of 17 years of record). Now: 41.5 ft³/s, lowest for this date on record.
Lowest for this date on record for this date. 41.5 ft³/s is below the lowest daily mean recorded on this date of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 17 years of record (2010–2026): 10th 87, 25th 130, median 183, 75th 348, 90th 720 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 44 ft³/s, highest 1,150 ft³/s.
Classes as USGS labels them (hyswap: flow categories (WDFN_stats schema) (U.S. Geological Survey) ); percentiles from the USGS daily statistics (U.S. Geological Survey) (approved daily means; the reading is provisional and instantaneous).
Rising over 24 hours: discharge up 11.9%, from 37.1 to 41.5 ft³/s. 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 Saco 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)Rising water. Rising over the last 24 hours (discharge up 11.9%). Keep your way back to the bank in sight and watch the level while you fish. “Rising” is our rule of thumb: more than 10% in discharge or 0.2 ft of gauge height in 24 hours, not a USGS or NWS class.
Cold water. Water 52.3°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 2.62 ft stage, 41 ft³/s at Nov 5, 10:45 PM EST (NWS gauge BLTN3; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
Forecasts are not available. Only observed stages are available for this point.
