Map of USGS gauge 01464000 and the river around it
Where Assunpink Creek at Trenton NJ sits, with 2 other gauges on the same river.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. 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: 68°F and 72°F.

Normal for Nov 5: 46–119 ft³/s (middle half of 103 years of record). Now: 44.4 ft³/s, below normal.
Below normal for this date. 44.4 ft³/s is between the 10th and 25th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 103 years of record (1924–2026): 10th 36, 25th 46, median 76, 75th 119, 90th 181 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 21 ft³/s, highest 312 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 (+2.5% 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.
