Map of USGS gauge 01458500 and the river around it
Where Delaware River at Frenchtown NJ sits, with 8 other gauges on the same river.
Steady over 24 hours (gauge height +0.01 ft). 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 56.3°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 56.3°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)Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the New Jersey Fish & Wildlife: New Jersey trout stocking · New Jersey freshwater fishing regulations.
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 56.3°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 10.4 mg/L at Nov 5, 10:00 PM EST; 7-day range 10.1–12.6 mg/L
Enough oxygen for coldwater fish: 10.4 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 7.9 at Nov 5, 10:00 PM EST; 7-day range 7.8–8.6
Within EPA's freshwater range: pH 7.9 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)Turbidity 0.7 FNU at Nov 5, 10:00 PM EST; 7-day range 0.6–18.3 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 255 µS/cm at Nov 5, 10:00 PM EST; 7-day range 254–266 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 1.47 ft stage at Nov 5, 9:30 PM EST (NWS gauge FREN4; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS river forecast forecast issued Nov 5, 10:16 AM EST. Highest point: 1.9 ft on Nov 6, 7:00 AM EST (Below NWS action stage).
| Day | Stage | Flow |
|---|---|---|
| Thu, Nov 5 | 1.5 ft | – |
| Fri, Nov 6 | 1.9 ft | – |
| Sat, Nov 7 | 1.5 ft | – |
| Sun, Nov 8 | 1.2 ft | – |
