BRANCH RIVER AT FORESTDALE, RI

USGS 01111500 · Rhode Island · reports discharge (live), gauge height

Limited data: Normal flow for the date: no water temperature here

Flow 55.9 ft³/s: below normal for Nov 5, over 86 years of USGS record. U.S. Geological Survey
No water-temperature reading at this gauge: take a stream thermometer.
Falling: discharge down 36.8% in 24 hours (88.4 to 55.9 ft³/s). Our rule of thumb: more than 10% (or 0.2 ft) in 24 hours, not a USGS class.
Below NWS action stage (official NWS category). That is not a statement that wading is safe. National Weather Service

What the agencies suggest

Carry a stream thermometer. Carry a pocket thermometer to monitor water temperature National Park Service

Conditions for fishing general guidance

No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. Rhode Island DEM publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a Rhode Island rule: 68°F.

Species

This gauge is on our page for Branch River, but no agency page we read lists its species.
