Map of USGS gauge 01129500 and the river around it
Where CONNECTICUT RIVER AT NORTH STRATFORD, NH sits, with 2 other gauges on the same river and our water's map point.
Federal guidance. 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:
Normal for Nov 5: 970–2,050 ft³/s (middle half of 96 years of record). Now: 495 ft³/s, much below normal.
Much below normal for this date. 495 ft³/s is below the 10th percentile of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 96 years of record (1931–2026): 10th 704, 25th 970, median 1,410, 75th 2,050, 90th 2,610 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 285 ft³/s, highest 6,180 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 (+4.2% 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.
Under the federal 68°F line. Water 53.1°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 53.1°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.”
High water temperatures prompt fishing advisory in Grand Teton National Park (29 July 2022) (National Park Service)This gauge is on our page for Upper Connecticut River, but no agency page we read lists its species.
Below NWS action stage. The National Weather Service reports this gauge below its action stage. That is not a statement that wading is safe.
Flood categories: action stage, minor, moderate and major flooding (National Weather Service)Cold water. Water 53.1°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)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.
Below NWS action stage. The National Weather Service reports this gauge below its action stage. That is not a statement that wading is safe.
NWS observed 3.26 ft stage, 494 ft³/s at Nov 5, 9:15 PM EST (NWS gauge NSTN3; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS river forecast forecast issued Nov 5, 10:32 AM EST. Highest point: 3.3 ft, 521 ft³/s on Nov 5, 7:00 PM EST (Below NWS action stage).
| Day | Stage | Flow |
|---|---|---|
| Thu, Nov 5 | 3.3 ft | 521 ft³/s |
| Fri, Nov 6 | 3.3 ft | 521 ft³/s |
| Sat, Nov 7 | 3.2 ft | 456 ft³/s |
| Sun, Nov 8 | 3.3 ft | 521 ft³/s |
