Reading Nov 5, 8:30 PM EST · provisional USGS data
No flow at this gauge. USGS does not publish discharge here, so there are no flow statistics either; it reports what is shown. Flow on the same river: Conemaugh River at Tunnelton, PA (USGS 03044000, 1.5 miles away).
Water temperature, last 7 days: 169 readings from Oct 29, 9:45 PM EDT to Nov 5, 8:30 PM EST; ranging 52.9 to 55.6 °F; latest 54.9 °F.
USGS provisional data may be revised. Source: USGS instantaneous values.

Map of USGS gauge 03043810 and the river around it
Where Conemaugh River below Conemaugh Dam, PA sits, with 3 other gauges on the same river.
In or under PFBC's preferred range. Water 54.9°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 55.6°F. The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission: “The preferred temperature range for trout is between 50 and 60 degrees Fahrenheit.”
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 54.9°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)pH 7.4 at Nov 5, 8:30 PM EST; 7-day range 7.3–7.4
Within EPA's freshwater range: pH 7.4 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 398 µS/cm at Nov 5, 8:30 PM EST; 7-day range 348–399 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, 9:36 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.
