Map of USGS gauge 03028000 and the river around it
Where West Branch Clarion River at Wilcox, PA sits and our water's map point.
In or under PFBC's preferred range. Water 55°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 57.7°F. The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission: “The preferred temperature range for trout is between 50 and 60 degrees Fahrenheit.”
PFBC position statement on closing coldwater tributary mouths to angling in summer (2006)Normal for Nov 5: 40–124 ft³/s (middle half of 73 years of record). Now: 17.2 ft³/s, below normal.
Below normal for this date. 17.2 ft³/s is between the 10th and 25th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 73 years of record (1954–2026): 10th 15, 25th 40, median 70, 75th 124, 90th 182 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 6.9 ft³/s, highest 510 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.
This gauge is on our page for West Branch Clarion River, but no agency page we read lists its species.
Cold water. Water 55°F. NWS: “Cold shock can be just as severe and dangerous from water temperatures of 50-60°F (10-15°C) as it is from water at 35°F (2°C).” “Always wear a life jacket in and around the water.”
Cold Water Hazards and Safety (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.
