Where MUSKEGON RIVER AT BRIDGE STREET AT NEWAYGO, 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.
Steady over 24 hours (gauge height +0.13 ft). 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.
