Where COGINCHAUG RIVER AT MIDDLEFIELD, CT sits.
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.
Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP): Connecticut trout stocking maps · Connecticut freshwater fishing regulations.
Not compared with the record because the reading is old.
Steady over 24 hours (gauge height −0.01 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.
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.
