Map of USGS gauge 01388000 and the river around it
Where Ramapo River at Pompton Lakes NJ sits, with 7 other gauges on the same river and our water's map point.
Normal for Nov 5: 58–263 ft³/s (middle half of 105 years of record). Now: 71.4 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 71.4 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 105 years of record (1922–2026): 10th 35, 25th 58, median 120, 75th 263, 90th 483 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 0 ft³/s, highest 2,840 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 (+4.1% 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.
Federal guidance. New Jersey Fish and Wildlife 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 Jersey rule, with New Jersey Fish and Wildlife's own figure added:
Under the federal 68°F line. Water 55.4°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 55.6°F. That is under the 68°F at which the National Park Service, at Grand Teton National Park, recommends anglers stop fishing in the afternoon (“cease fishing at 2 p.m. when water temperatures are likely to exceed 68°F”). Water warms through the afternoon, so check again later in the day: “Carry a pocket thermometer to monitor water temperature.”
High water temperatures prompt fishing advisory in Grand Teton National Park (29 July 2022) (National Park Service)This gauge is on the same river as our page for Ramapo 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 55.4°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)Dissolved oxygen 10.3 mg/L at Nov 5, 8:45 PM EST; 7-day range 10.3–11.1 mg/L
Enough oxygen for coldwater fish: 10.3 mg/L meets the 6.5 mg/L EPA sets for coldwater fish (other life stages; eggs and fry need a 8 mg/L minimum).
Quality Criteria for Water 1986 (“Gold Book”): dissolved oxygen, Table 1; pH (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency)pH 7.8 at Nov 5, 8:45 PM EST; 7-day range 7.7–8.2
Within EPA's freshwater range: pH 7.8 is within the 6.5–9 range EPA gives for freshwater aquatic life.
Quality Criteria for Water 1986 (“Gold Book”): dissolved oxygen, Table 1; pH (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency)Specific conductance 567 µS/cm at Nov 5, 8:45 PM EST; 7-day range 513–567 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 7 ft stage, 71 ft³/s at Nov 5, 8:15 PM EST (NWS gauge PPTN4; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS river forecast forecast issued Nov 5, 10:17 AM EST. Highest point: 7.3 ft, 122 ft³/s on Nov 6, 7:00 AM EST (Below NWS action stage).
| Day | Stage | Flow |
|---|---|---|
| Thu, Nov 5 | 7 ft | 71 ft³/s |
| Fri, Nov 6 | 7.3 ft | 122 ft³/s |
| Sat, Nov 7 | 7.3 ft | 122 ft³/s |
| Sun, Nov 8 | 7.1 ft | 87 ft³/s |
