Map of USGS gauge 01643580 and the river around it
Where MONOCACY RIVER NEAR DICKERSON, MD sits, with 2 other gauges on the same river.
Good trout temperatures. Water 63.3°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 63.7°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 InformationUSGS publishes no daily statistics for this gauge, so the reading is not compared with the record.
Steady over 24 hours (+6.3% 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 Maryland Department of Natural Resources: Maryland trout stocking · Maryland fishing regulations.
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 9.8 mg/L at Nov 5, 10:45 PM EST; 7-day range 9.2–14.2 mg/L
Enough oxygen for coldwater fish: 9.8 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 at Nov 5, 10:45 PM EST; 7-day range 7.8–8.5
Within EPA's freshwater range: pH 8 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 1.7 FNU at Nov 5, 10:45 PM EST; 7-day range 1–2.4 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 506 µS/cm at Nov 5, 10:45 PM EST; 7-day range 484–513 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.
The National Weather Service has no flood-stage gauge here, so no official flood category is shown.
Checked Nov 5, 11:08 PM EST; readings refresh at most every 15 minutes and statistics daily. Provisional USGS data can be revised. Conditions change: re-check before you go. This is general guidance, not a fishing forecast, a safety guarantee or a statement about access.
