Map of USGS gauge 01429000 and the river around it
Where West Branch Lackawaxen River at Prompton, PA sits, with 1 other gauge on the same river.
In or under PFBC's preferred range. Water 52.9°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 53.2°F. The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission: “The preferred temperature range for trout is between 50 and 60 degrees Fahrenheit.”
PFBC position statement on closing coldwater tributary mouths to angling in summer (2006)Normal for Nov 5: 29–107 ft³/s (middle half of 66 years of record). Now: 33.6 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 33.6 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 66 years of record (1961–2026): 10th 12, 25th 29, median 56, 75th 107, 90th 175 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 5.9 ft³/s, highest 243 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 (+0% 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.

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 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.
