Map of USGS gauge 01585075 and the river around it
Where FOSTER BRANCH NEAR JOPPATOWNE, MD sits.
Good trout temperatures. Water 59.7°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 59.7°F. That is under the 65°F Maryland DNR gives as preferred for trout (“Preferred temperatures, fishing is generally good”; “best chance for survival after release”). Water warms through the afternoon, so check again later in the day.
Trout Fishing Temperature Information (Maryland Department of Natural Resources)Normal for Nov 5: 0.21–0.56 ft³/s (middle half of 11 years of record). Now: 0.71 ft³/s, above normal.
Above normal for this date. 0.71 ft³/s is between the 75th and 90th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 11 years of record (2016–2026): 10th 0.11, 25th 0.21, median 0.35, 75th 0.56, 90th 12 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 0.11 ft³/s, highest 15 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 108.8%, from 0.34 to 0.71 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 list not on file for this gauge. Check the Maryland Department of Natural Resources: Maryland trout stocking · Maryland fishing regulations.
Below NWS action stage. The National Weather Service reports this gauge below its action stage. That is not a statement that wading is safe.
Flood categories: action stage, minor, moderate and major flooding (National Weather Service)Rising water. Rising over the last 24 hours (discharge up 109%). 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 59.7°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)Turbidity 5 FNU at Nov 5, 9:05 PM EST; 7-day range 3.6–17.3 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 327 µS/cm at Nov 5, 9:05 PM EST; 7-day range 314–330 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.
Below NWS action stage. The National Weather Service reports this gauge below its action stage. That is not a statement that wading is safe.
NWS observed 1.92 ft stage, 2 ft³/s at Nov 5, 8:05 PM EST (NWS gauge JPAM2; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
Forecasts are not available. Only observed stages are available for this point.
