Map of USGS gauge 04124000 and the river around it
Where MANISTEE RIVER NEAR SHERMAN, MI sits, with 2 other gauges on the same river and our water's map point.
Federal guidance. 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:
Normal for Nov 5: 874–1,140 ft³/s (middle half of 105 years of record). Now: 988 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 988 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 105 years of record (1904–2026): 10th 837, 25th 874, median 985, 75th 1,140, 90th 1,340 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 700 ft³/s, highest 1,800 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 (+1% 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.
Under the federal 68°F line. Water 52.7°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 54.7°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.”
High water temperatures prompt fishing advisory in Grand Teton National Park (29 July 2022) (National Park Service)Species the agency lists for Manistee River: salmon, steelhead, brown trout, smallmouth bass, walleye.

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 52.7°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)Dissolved oxygen 10.1 mg/L at Nov 5, 10:30 PM EST; 7-day range 9.7–11.4 mg/L
Enough oxygen for coldwater fish: 10.1 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 11.9 ft stage, 988 ft³/s at Nov 5, 10:30 PM EST (NWS gauge SHRM4; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
Forecasts are issued routinely year-round.
