Map of USGS gauge 04191500 and the river around it
Where Auglaize River near Defiance OH sits, with 1 other gauge on the same river.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. Ohio Division of Wildlife publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a Ohio rule: 68°F.
Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Wildlife: Ohio steelhead stockings 2021-2025.
Normal for Nov 5: 55–514 ft³/s (middle half of 111 years of record). Now: 73.7 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 73.7 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 111 years of record (1916–2026): 10th 26, 25th 55, median 182, 75th 514, 90th 1,510 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 5.3 ft³/s, highest 13,700 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 38.6%, from 120 to 73.7 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.
Below NWS action stage. The National Weather Service reports this gauge below its action stage. That is not a statement that wading is safe.
