Map of USGS gauge 01634000 and the river around it
Where N F SHENANDOAH RIVER NEAR STRASBURG, VA sits, with 1 other gauge on the same river.
Within Virginia DWR's comfort range. Water 63.9°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 64.4°F. Virginia DWR: trout “are most comfortable in highly oxygenated water that doesn’t exceed 68 degrees in temperature.” It also warns that “Trout become stressed in water temperatures in the mid- to upper-60s”: on warm days, “consider fishing early in the morning for a few hours and then quitting.”
Safe Practices for Summer Trout Fishing (7 June 2022)Normal for Nov 5: 132–339 ft³/s (middle half of 101 years of record). Now: 141 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 141 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 101 years of record (1926–2026): 10th 102, 25th 132, median 178, 75th 339, 90th 674 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 68.6 ft³/s, highest 33,000 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 (+2.9% 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 Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources: Virginia daily trout stocking schedule · Virginia freshwater 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 mg/L at Nov 5, 7:30 PM EST; 7-day range 8.1–12.8 mg/L
Enough oxygen for coldwater fish: 9 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 8.3 at Nov 5, 7:30 PM EST; 7-day range 8.2–8.6
Within EPA's freshwater range: pH 8.3 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 0.6 FNU at Nov 5, 7:30 PM EST; 7-day range 0.6–1.5 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 429 µS/cm at Nov 5, 7:30 PM EST; 7-day range 393–443 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 1.86 ft stage, 140 ft³/s at Nov 5, 7:30 PM EST (NWS gauge STGV2; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS river forecast forecast issued Nov 5, 9:59 AM EST. Highest point: 1.9 ft, 154 ft³/s on Nov 5, 1:00 PM EST (Below NWS action stage).
| Day | Stage | Flow |
