Map of USGS gauge 01357500 and the river around it
Where MOHAWK RIVER AT COHOES NY sits, with 7 other gauges on the same river and our water's map point.
Normal for Nov 5: 2,230–6,400 ft³/s (middle half of 101 years of record). Now: 4,410 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 4,410 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 101 years of record (1926–2026): 10th 1,420, 25th 2,230, median 3,570, 75th 6,400, 90th 10,900 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 884 ft³/s, highest 37,600 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 (+5.3% 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 New York DEC's 70°F line. Water 55.8°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 55.8°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 the same river as our page for Mohawk 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 55.8°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)Turbidity 3.8 FNU at Nov 5, 8:30 PM EST; 7-day range 0.3–6.9 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 375 µS/cm at Nov 5, 8:30 PM EST; 7-day range 358–382 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.
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 10.4 ft stage, 4,410 ft³/s at Nov 5, 8:00 PM EST (NWS gauge COHN6; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS river forecast forecast issued Nov 5, 10:32 AM EST. Highest point: 8.7 ft, 1,700 ft³/s on Nov 5, 1:00 PM EST (Below NWS action stage).
| Day | Stage | Flow |
|---|---|---|
| Thu, Nov 5 | 8.7 ft | 1,700 ft³/s |
| Fri, Nov 6 | 8.6 ft | 1,590 ft³/s |
| Sat, Nov 7 | 8.2 ft | 1,220 ft³/s |
| Sun, Nov 8 | 8.6 ft | 1,590 ft³/s |
