Map of USGS gauge 01479820 and the river around it
Where Red Clay Creek near Kennett Square, PA sits, with 2 other gauges 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.”
Normal for Nov 5: 18–30 ft³/s (middle half of 36 years of record). Now: 22 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 22 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 36 years of record (1989–2024): 10th 13, 25th 18, median 25, 75th 30, 90th 56 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 9.5 ft³/s, highest 93.2 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 17%, from 18.8 to 22 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 the agency lists for Red Clay Creek: Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout.
From our page for Red Clay Creek, on the same river as this gauge; the agency list is for the water, not this exact reach. Source: Designated trout streams (Northern New Castle County Trout Streams) and trout-stocked ponds (Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC), Division of Fish and Wildlife).
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 17%). 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 59.7°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)Turbidity 0.4 FNU at Nov 5, 8:45 PM EST; 7-day range 0.3–3.4 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 586 µS/cm at Nov 5, 8:45 PM EST; 7-day range 568–630 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 3.15 ft stage, 24 ft³/s at Nov 5, 7:45 PM EST (NWS gauge KNSP1; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
Forecasts are not available. Only observed stages are available for this point.
