Map of USGS gauge 01574500 and the river around it
Where Codorus Creek at Spring Grove, 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: 33–64 ft³/s (middle half of 61 years of record). Now: 19.1 ft³/s, below normal.
Below normal for this date. 19.1 ft³/s is between the 10th and 25th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 61 years of record (1966–2026): 10th 19, 25th 33, median 45, 75th 64, 90th 142 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 9.14 ft³/s, highest 285 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.
Species the agency lists for Codorus Creek: Brown Trout.
