Map of USGS gauge 01480000 and the river around it
Where RED CLAY CREEK AT WOODDALE, DE sits, with 2 other gauges on the same river and our water's map point.
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:
Normal for Nov 5: 24–48 ft³/s (middle half of 83 years of record). Now: 29.1 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 29.1 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 83 years of record: 10th 19.4, 25th 24, median 31, 75th 48, 90th 92 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 13 ft³/s, highest 192 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.
Under the federal 68°F line. Water 57.4°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 57.7°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.”
High water temperatures prompt fishing advisory in Grand Teton National Park (29 July 2022) (National Park Service)Species the agency lists for Red Clay Creek: Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout.
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)Cold water. Water 57.4°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 468 µS/cm at Nov 5, 6:45 PM EST; 7-day range 456–493 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 2.89 ft stage, 31 ft³/s at Nov 5, 6:45 PM EST (NWS gauge RCCD1; 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, 7:59 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.
