Map of USGS gauge 01349527 and the river around it
Where MOHAWK R ABOVE STATE HIGHWAY 30A AT FONDA NY sits, with 8 other gauges on the same river and our water's map point.
Normal for Nov 5: 1,700–6,990 ft³/s (middle half of 12 years of record). Now: 3,030 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 3,030 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 12 years of record (2015–2026): 10th 1,560, 25th 1,700, median 3,050, 75th 6,990, 90th 10,900 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 1,550 ft³/s, highest 12,000 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).
Rising over 24 hours: discharge up 339.1%, from 690 to 3,030 ft³/s. 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 New York DEC's 70°F line. Water 52.9°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 52.9°F. That is not over the 70°F above which New York DEC says “trout and salmon can experience physical stress”. “Fish early in the day. Stream temperatures are at their coolest in the early morning hours.”
DEC Asks Anglers to Help Heat-Stressed Trout and Salmon (28 June 2019) (New York State Department of Environmental Conservation)This gauge is on our page for Mohawk River, but no agency page we read lists its species.
Rising water. Rising over the last 24 hours (discharge up 339%). Keep your way back to the bank in sight and watch the level while you fish. “Rising” is our rule of thumb: more than 10% in discharge or 0.2 ft of gauge height in 24 hours, not a USGS or NWS class.
Cold water. Water 52.9°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 DrownTurbidity 11.7 FNU at Nov 5, 10:15 PM EST; 7-day range 0.4–198 FNU
Water clarity: Turbidity measures the relative clarity of water: higher means murkier. No agency publishes a fishing threshold for it; compare with this gauge's own recent readings.
Turbidity and Water (U.S. Geological Survey)Specific conductance 398 µS/cm at Nov 5, 10:15 PM EST; 7-day range 331–545 µS/cm
Dissolved ions: Specific conductance rises with the ions dissolved in the water. No fishing threshold is published for it; compare with this gauge's own recent readings.
Conductivity (Electrical Conductance) and Water (U.S. Geological Survey)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.
NWS observed 11.1 ft stage, 3,030 ft³/s at Nov 5, 10:15 PM EST (NWS gauge FODN6; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS has not set flood categories for this gauge.
Forecasts are not available. Only observed stages are available for this point.
