Map of USGS gauge 01473000 and the river around it
Where Perkiomen Creek at Graterford, PA sits, with 1 other gauge on the same river and our water's map point.
In or under PFBC's preferred range. Water 59.7°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 59.7°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: 99–300 ft³/s (middle half of 70 years of record). Now: 106 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 106 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 70 years of record (1957–2026): 10th 73, 25th 99, median 139, 75th 300, 90th 489 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 43 ft³/s, highest 1,420 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.
Species the agency lists for Perkiomen Creek: Brown Trout.

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 59.7°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)Specific conductance 481 µS/cm at Nov 5, 9:15 PM EST; 7-day range 464–537 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 1.16 ft stage, 106 ft³/s at Nov 5, 8:15 PM EST (NWS gauge GRAP1; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS river forecast forecast issued Nov 5, 10:17 AM EST. Highest point: 1.8 ft, 336 ft³/s on Nov 6, 7:00 AM EST (Below NWS action stage).
