Map of USGS gauge 01095220 and the river around it
Where STILLWATER RIVER NEAR STERLING, MA sits and our water's map point.
Federal guidance. MassWildlife publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a Massachusetts rule:
Under the federal 68°F line. Water 54.7°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 54.7°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: 6.9–47 ft³/s (middle half of 32 years of record). Now: 10.2 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 10.2 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 32 years of record (1995–2026): 10th 3.1, 25th 6.9, median 22, 75th 47, 90th 90 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 1.71 ft³/s, highest 219 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 (−7.3% 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 Stillwater River, but no agency page we read lists its species.
Cold water. Water 54.7°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)Specific conductance 225 µS/cm at Nov 5, 10:30 PM EST; 7-day range 192–225 µS/cm
Dissolved ions: Specific conductance rises with the ions dissolved in the water. No fishing threshold is published for it; compare with this gauge's own recent readings.
Conductivity (Electrical Conductance) and Water (U.S. Geological Survey)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.
NWS observed 4.08 ft stage, 10 ft³/s at Nov 5, 10:30 PM EST (NWS gauge STEM3; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS has not set flood categories for this gauge.
Forecasts are not available. Only observed stages are available for this point.

Checked Nov 5, 11:28 PM EST; readings refresh at most every 15 minutes and statistics daily. Provisional USGS data can be revised. Conditions change: re-check before you go. This is general guidance, not a fishing forecast, a safety guarantee or a statement about access.
