Where TAUNTON RIVER NEAR BRIDGEWATER, MA sits.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. 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: 68°F.

Normal for Nov 5: 148–423 ft³/s (middle half of 80 years of record). Now: 185 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 185 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 80 years of record (1930–2026): 10th 86, 25th 148, median 251, 75th 423, 90th 785 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 36 ft³/s, highest 1,710 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 (−1.6% 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.
