USGS keeps no flow statistics at this gauge, so there is no normal range for flow; the chart shows gauge height as USGS publishes it.
Map of USGS gauge 01190070 and the river around it
Where CONNECTICUT RIVER AT HARTFORD, CT sits, with 3 other gauges on the same river.
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.
Falling over 24 hours: gauge height down 0.35 ft. 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.
