Map of USGS gauge 01547100 and the river around it
Where Spring Creek at Milesburg, PA sits, with 2 other gauges on the same river and our water's map point.
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.
Normal for Nov 5: 134–214 ft³/s (middle half of 59 years of record). Now: 221 ft³/s, above normal.
Above normal for this date. 221 ft³/s is between the 75th and 90th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 59 years of record: 10th 121, 25th 134, median 151, 75th 214, 90th 276 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 98 ft³/s, highest 416 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 23.5%, from 179 to 221 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 Spring Creek: brown trout.
From our page for Spring Creek, on the same river as this gauge; the agency list is for the water, not this exact reach. Source: Biologist Report - Spring Creek 2000 (Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission).
Rising water. Rising over the last 24 hours (discharge up 23.5%). 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.
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.
