Map of USGS gauge 03034000 and the river around it
Where Mahoning Creek at Punxsutawney, PA sits, with 2 other gauges on the same river.
In or under PFBC's preferred range. Water 57.2°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 59.2°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: 47–202 ft³/s (middle half of 88 years of record). Now: 92 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 92 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 88 years of record (1939–2026): 10th 28, 25th 47, median 113, 75th 202, 90th 310 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 16 ft³/s, highest 2,260 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% 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 Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission: Pennsylvania adult trout stocking schedule · Pennsylvania fishing regulations.
Cold water. Water 57.2°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.
Turn Around Don't Drown (National Weather Service)Dissolved oxygen 9.3 mg/L at Nov 5, 8:45 PM EST; 7-day range 8.9–12.7 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 7.8 at Nov 5, 8:45 PM EST; 7-day range 7.6–8.1
Within EPA's freshwater range: pH 7.8 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)Specific conductance 406 µS/cm at Nov 5, 8:45 PM EST; 7-day range 367–407 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.
NWS observed 1.48 ft stage, 91 ft³/s at Nov 5, 7:45 PM EST (NWS gauge PXSP1; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS has not set flood categories for this gauge.
Forecasts are not available. Only observed stages are available for this point.
