What the agencies suggest
During periods of high water, fish move towards the banks to find calmer water and lower velocitiesPennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission
Wading and boating should be avoided if waters are running high and muddy and the streambed is not visiblePennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission
If stream conditions are not favorable, consider fishing at a lakePennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission

Map of USGS gauge 03353451 and the river around it
Where EAGLE CREEK BELOW RESERVOIR AT INDIANAPOLIS, IN sits, with 5 other gauges 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.
Normal for Nov 5: 8.3–12 ft³/s (middle half of 25 years of record). Now: 17.5 ft³/s, much above normal.
Much above normal for this date. 17.5 ft³/s is above the 90th percentile of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 25 years of record (1995–2025): 10th 6.1, 25th 8.3, median 11, 75th 12, 90th 16 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 2.6 ft³/s, highest 18.5 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).
Falling over 24 hours: discharge down 11.6%, from 19.8 to 17.5 ft³/s. 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 Indiana Department of Natural Resources: Indiana fish stocking · Indiana fishing guide and regulations.
Flow far above normal. Above the 90th percentile of daily mean flow for this date (USGS class “much above normal”), from 25 years of record. Expect higher, faster water than usual for the season.

The National Weather Service has no flood-stage gauge here, so no official flood category is shown.
