Map of USGS gauge 01611500 and the river around it
Where CACAPON RIVER NEAR GREAT CACAPON, WV sits.
Federal guidance. West Virginia DNR publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a West Virginia rule:
Under the federal 68°F line. Water 60.6°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 61.3°F. That is under the 68°F at which the National Park Service, at Grand Teton National Park, recommends anglers stop fishing in the afternoon (“cease fishing at 2 p.m. when water temperatures are likely to exceed 68°F”). Water warms through the afternoon, so check again later in the day: “Carry a pocket thermometer to monitor water temperature.”
High water temperatures prompt fishing advisory in Grand Teton National Park (29 July 2022)Normal for Nov 5: 87–309 ft³/s (middle half of 102 years of record). Now: 90.1 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 90.1 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 102 years of record (1924–2026): 10th 63, 25th 87, median 122, 75th 309, 90th 681 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 45 ft³/s, highest 26,800 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 (+0% 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 list not on file for this gauge. Check the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources: West Virginia fish stocking schedule · West Virginia 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)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 9.3 mg/L at Nov 5, 7:30 PM EST; 7-day range 8.9–11.7 mg/L
Enough oxygen for coldwater fish: 9.3 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 8.1 at Nov 5, 7:30 PM EST; 7-day range 7.9–8.7
Within EPA's freshwater range: pH 8.1 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)Specific conductance 201 µS/cm at Nov 5, 7:30 PM EST; 7-day range 190–201 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 1.49 ft stage, 90 ft³/s at Nov 5, 6:30 PM EST (NWS gauge GCPW2; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS river forecast forecast issued Nov 5, 9:59 AM EST. Highest point: 1.5 ft, 92 ft³/s on Nov 5, 1:00 PM EST (Below NWS action stage).
| Day | Stage | Flow |
|---|---|---|
| Thu, Nov 5 | 1.5 ft | 92 ft³/s |
| Fri, Nov 6 | 1.5 ft | 92 ft³/s |
| Sat, Nov 7 | 1.5 ft | 92 ft³/s |
| Sun, Nov 8 | 1.4 ft | 71 ft³/s |
