Map of USGS gauge 01154500 and the river around it
Where CONNECTICUT RIVER AT NORTH WALPOLE, NH sits.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. 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: 68°F.

Normal for Nov 5: 4,180–11,600 ft³/s (middle half of 84 years of record). Now: 1,990 ft³/s, much below normal.
Much below normal for this date. 1,990 ft³/s is below the 10th percentile of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 84 years of record (1943–2026): 10th 2,680, 25th 4,180, median 7,730, 75th 11,600, 90th 16,500 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 193 ft³/s, highest 29,200 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 (+2.6% 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.
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)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.
