Map of USGS gauge 04121970 and the river around it
Where MUSKEGON RIVER NEAR CROTON, MI sits, with 5 other gauges on the same river and our water's map point.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. Michigan 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 Michigan rule: 68°F.
Normal for Nov 5: 1,290–2,080 ft³/s (middle half of 31 years of record). Now: 1,500 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 1,500 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 31 years of record (1996–2026): 10th 1,100, 25th 1,290, median 1,620, 75th 2,080, 90th 2,920 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 905 ft³/s, highest 4,070 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).
Rising over 24 hours: discharge up 10.3%, from 1,360 to 1,500 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 the agency lists for Muskegon River: chinook salmon, brown trout, steelhead, walleye, smallmouth bass, northern pike, rainbow trout.

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)Rising water. Rising over the last 24 hours (discharge up 10.3%). Keep your way back to the bank in sight and watch the level while you fish. “Rising” is our rule of thumb: more than 10% in discharge or 0.2 ft of gauge height in 24 hours, not a USGS or NWS class.
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 9.8 mg/L at Nov 3, 1:30 PM EST; 7-day range 9.2–10.7 mg/L; more than a day old
Enough oxygen for coldwater fish: 9.8 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)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 4.97 ft stage, 1,490 ft³/s at Nov 5, 9:00 PM EST (NWS gauge CROM4; 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.
