Map of USGS gauge 01472157 and the river around it
Where French Creek near Phoenixville, PA sits and our water's map point.
In or under PFBC's preferred range. Water 58.6°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 58.6°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) (Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission)Normal for Nov 5: 27–64 ft³/s (middle half of 57 years of record). Now: 32.6 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 32.6 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 57 years of record (1969–2025): 10th 19, 25th 27, median 36, 75th 64, 90th 176 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 15.9 ft³/s, highest 267 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.
This gauge is on our page for French Creek, but no agency page we read lists its species.
Cold water. Water 58.6°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)Turbidity 0.6 FNU at Nov 5, 7:30 PM EST; 7-day range 0.4–10.9 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 233 µS/cm at Nov 5, 7:30 PM EST; 7-day range 227–238 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.
The National Weather Service has no flood-stage gauge here, so no official flood category is shown.
Checked Nov 5, 8:38 PM EST; readings refresh at most every 15 minutes and statistics daily. Provisional USGS data can be revised. Conditions change: re-check before you go. This is general guidance, not a fishing forecast, a safety guarantee or a statement about access.
