Map of USGS gauge 04084445 and the river around it
Where FOX RIVER AT APPLETON, WI sits, with 2 other gauges on the same river.
Federal guidance. Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin rule:
Under the federal 68°F line. Water 56.1°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 58.3°F. That is under the 68°F at which the National Park Service, at Grand Teton National Park, recommends anglers stop fishing in the afternoon (“cease fishing at 2 p.m. when water temperatures are likely to exceed 68°F”). Water warms through the afternoon, so check again later in the day: “Carry a pocket thermometer to monitor water temperature.”
Normal for Nov 5: 3,125–6,095 ft³/s (middle half of 40 years of record). Now: 4,630 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 4,630 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 40 years of record: 10th 2,306, 25th 3,125, median 4,435, 75th 6,095, 90th 9,514 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 1,470 ft³/s, highest 10,900 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 (−0.4% 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.
Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources: Wisconsin fish stocking · Wisconsin fishing regulations.
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 56.1°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)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 5.52 ft stage, 3,360 ft³/s at Nov 5, 7:00 PM CST (NWS gauge APLW3; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
Forecasts are issued as needed during times of high water, but are not routinely available.
