Map of USGS gauge 03353500 and the river around it
Where EAGLE CREEK 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: 8.3–35 ft³/s (middle half of 87 years of record). Now: 16.8 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 16.8 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 87 years of record (1940–2026): 10th 4.1, 25th 8.3, median 16, 75th 35, 90th 140 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 0.4 ft³/s, highest 596 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 16.8%, from 20.2 to 16.8 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.
