Map of USGS gauge 01478000 and the river around it
Where CHRISTINA RIVER AT COOCHS BRIDGE, DE sits, with 2 other gauges on the same river.
Federal guidance. Delaware DNREC publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a Delaware rule, with Delaware DNREC's own figure added:
Under the federal 68°F line. Water 59°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 59°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.”
Normal for Nov 5: 6.2–16 ft³/s (middle half of 81 years of record). Now: 9.85 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 9.85 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 81 years of record (1944–2024): 10th 4, 25th 6.2, median 9.8, 75th 16, 90th 52 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 2.4 ft³/s, highest 145 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).
Rising over 24 hours: discharge up 35.9%, from 7.25 to 9.85 ft³/s. 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 list not on file for this gauge. Check the Delaware DNREC, Division of Fish and Wildlife: Delaware freshwater trout fishing · Delaware fishing licensing and 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)Rising water. Rising over the last 24 hours (discharge up 35.9%). Keep your way back to the bank in sight and watch the level while you fish. “Rising” is our rule of thumb: more than 10% in discharge or 0.2 ft of gauge height in 24 hours, not a USGS or NWS class.
Cold water. Water 59°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 387 µS/cm at Nov 5, 10:15 PM EST; 7-day range 369–387 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 4.14 ft stage, 14 ft³/s at Nov 5, 10:15 PM EST (NWS gauge CHBD1; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
Forecasts are issued as needed during times of high water, but are not routinely available.

Checked Nov 5, 11:04 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.
