Map of USGS gauge 01482695 and the river around it
Where C AND D CANAL NR DELAWARE CITY, DE sits.
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 61.5°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 62.2°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)USGS publishes no daily statistics for this gauge, so the reading is not compared with the record.
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.
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 13,300 µS/cm at Nov 5, 11:42 PM EST; 7-day range 12,600–19,000 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 6, 12:45 AM 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.
