Map of USGS gauge 01548030 and the river around it
Where Fishing Creek near Lamar, PA sits, with 1 other gauge on the same river and our water's map point.
In or under PFBC's preferred range. Water 52.2°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 54.3°F. The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission: “The preferred temperature range for trout is between 50 and 60 degrees Fahrenheit.”
PFBC position statement on closing coldwater tributary mouths to angling in summer (2006)USGS publishes no daily statistics for this gauge, so the reading is not compared with the record.
Rising over 24 hours: discharge up 13.6%, from 59.7 to 67.8 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.
This gauge is on our page for Fishing Creek, but no agency page we read lists its species.
Rising water. Rising over the last 24 hours (discharge up 13.6%). 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.
Cold water. Water 52.2°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)Dissolved oxygen 9.4 mg/L at Nov 5, 9:30 PM EST; 7-day range 9.3–12.1 mg/L
Enough oxygen for coldwater fish: 9.4 mg/L meets the 6.5 mg/L EPA sets for coldwater fish (other life stages; eggs and fry need a 8 mg/L minimum).
Quality Criteria for Water 1986 (“Gold Book”): dissolved oxygen, Table 1; pH (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency)pH 7.8 at Nov 5, 9:30 PM EST; 7-day range 7.8–8.2
Within EPA's freshwater range: pH 7.8 is within the 6.5–9 range EPA gives for freshwater aquatic life.
Quality Criteria for Water 1986 (“Gold Book”): dissolved oxygen, Table 1; pH (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency)Turbidity 2.4 FNU at Nov 5, 9:30 PM EST; 7-day range 1.3–3 FNU
Water clarity: Turbidity measures the relative clarity of water: higher means murkier. No agency publishes a fishing threshold for it; compare with this gauge's own recent readings.
Turbidity and Water (U.S. Geological Survey)Specific conductance 361 µS/cm at Nov 5, 9:30 PM EST; 7-day range 354–370 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.
NWS observed 2.56 ft stage at Nov 5, 9:30 PM EST (NWS gauge FCLP1; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS has not set flood categories for this gauge.
Forecasts are not available. Only observed stages are available for this point.

Checked Nov 5, 10:18 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.
