Map of USGS gauge 01538510 and the river around it
Where L Nescopeck Creek Tributary near Freeland, PA sits.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer: the trout lines Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission uses are 60°F, 70°F and 72°F.
Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission: Pennsylvania adult trout stocking schedule · Pennsylvania fishing regulations.
Normal for Nov 5: 38–81 ft³/s (middle half of 10 years of record). Now: 40.4 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 40.4 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 10 years of record (1975–2025): 10th 23, 25th 38, median 58, 75th 81, 90th 121 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 21.5 ft³/s, highest 122 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 (+5.5% 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.
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.
