Normal for Nov 5: 13–47 ft³/s (middle half of 75 years of record). Now: 16.6 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 16.6 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 75 years of record (1952–2026): 10th 9.6, 25th 13, median 28, 75th 47, 90th 98 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 5.6 ft³/s, highest 668 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.

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