Map of USGS gauge 03330500 and the river around it
Where TIPPECANOE RIVER AT OSWEGO, IN sits, with 1 other gauge on the same river.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. Indiana DNR publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a Indiana rule: 68°F.
Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the Indiana Department of Natural Resources: Indiana fish stocking · Indiana fishing guide and regulations.
Normal for Nov 5: 35–94 ft³/s (middle half of 77 years of record). Now: 68.1 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 68.1 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 77 years of record (1950–2026): 10th 18, 25th 35, median 66, 75th 94, 90th 174 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 4.7 ft³/s, highest 302 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 (−5.8% 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.
