Map of USGS gauge 03014500 and the river around it
Where CHADAKOIN RIVER AT FALCONER NY sits.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer: the trout lines New York DEC uses are 70°F.
Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation: New York fish stocking lists · New York freshwater fishing regulations.
Normal for Nov 5: 92–610 ft³/s (middle half of 92 years of record). Now: 648 ft³/s, above normal.
Above normal for this date. 648 ft³/s is between the 75th and 90th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 92 years of record (1935–2026): 10th 52, 25th 92, median 370, 75th 610, 90th 789 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 7.7 ft³/s, highest 1,130 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 (−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.

NWS observed 1.94 ft stage, 656 ft³/s at Nov 5, 7:30 PM EST (NWS gauge FLCN6; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
