Map of USGS gauge 01505000 and the river around it
Where CHENANGO RIVER AT SHERBURNE NY sits, with 3 other gauges on the same river.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer: the trout lines New York DEC uses are 70°F.

Normal for Nov 5: 116–474 ft³/s (middle half of 79 years of record). Now: 66.5 ft³/s, below normal.
Below normal for this date. 66.5 ft³/s is between the 10th and 25th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 79 years of record (1939–2026): 10th 66, 25th 116, median 237, 75th 474, 90th 608 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 18 ft³/s, highest 1,040 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 (+9.2% 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.
