Map of USGS gauge 01072800 and the river around it
Where COCHECO RIVER NEAR ROCHESTER, NH 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. 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: 68°F.
This gauge is on our page for Cocheco River, but no agency page we read lists its species.
Normal for Nov 5: 37–160 ft³/s (middle half of 31 years of record). Now: 55.9 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 55.9 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 31 years of record (1996–2026): 10th 22, 25th 37, median 110, 75th 160, 90th 225 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 13.9 ft³/s, highest 447 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).
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.
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.

NWS observed 3.23 ft stage, 56 ft³/s at Nov 5, 9:00 PM EST (NWS gauge COCN3; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
