Map of USGS gauge 01591400 and the river around it
Where CATTAIL CREEK NEAR GLENWOOD, MD sits.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer: the trout lines Maryland DNR uses are 65°F and 68°F.
Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the Maryland Department of Natural Resources: Maryland trout stocking · Maryland fishing regulations.
Normal for Nov 5: 9.4–23 ft³/s (middle half of 48 years of record). Now: 13.1 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 13.1 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 48 years of record (1979–2026): 10th 7.1, 25th 9.4, median 15, 75th 23, 90th 31 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 5 ft³/s, highest 139 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 (+9.2% 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.
