Map of USGS gauge 01426500 and the river around it
Where WEST BRANCH DELAWARE RIVER AT HALE EDDY NY sits, with 3 other gauges on the same river and our water's map point.
Normal for Nov 5: 212–670 ft³/s (middle half of 63 years of record). Now: 596 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 596 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 63 years of record (1964–2026): 10th 102, 25th 212, median 367, 75th 670, 90th 1,470 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 33 ft³/s, highest 2,250 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 (−7.2% 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 57.4°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 58.6°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.”

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 57.4°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.
