Map of USGS gauge 03108500 and the river around it
Where Ohio River at Montgomery Lock & Dam, Lower Pool sits, with 7 other gauges on the same river.
Steady over 24 hours (gauge height −0.14 ft). 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.
In or under PFBC's preferred range. Water 59°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.”

Below NWS action stage. The National Weather Service reports this gauge below its action stage. That is not a statement that wading is safe.
Flood categories: action stage, minor, moderate and major flooding (National Weather Service)Cold water. Water 59°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 10.9 mg/L at Nov 1, 12:45 AM EDT; 7-day range 10.8–11 mg/L; more than a day old
Enough oxygen for coldwater fish: 10.9 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, 9:30 PM EST; 7-day range 7.8–7.8
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 361 µS/cm at Nov 5, 9:30 PM EST; 7-day range 320–374 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.
Below NWS action stage. The National Weather Service reports this gauge below its action stage. That is not a statement that wading is safe.
NWS observed 13 ft stage at Nov 5, 8:45 PM EST (NWS gauge MGYP1; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS river forecast forecast issued Nov 5, 10:03 AM EST. Highest point: 13 ft on Nov 5, 1:00 PM EST (Below NWS action stage).
| Day | Stage | Flow |
|---|---|---|
| Thu, Nov 5 | 13 ft | – |
| Fri, Nov 6 | 13 ft | – |
| Sat, Nov 7 | 12.8 ft | – |
| Sun, Nov 8 | 12.7 ft | – |
