Map of USGS gauge 04201500 and the river around it
Where Rocky River near Berea OH sits and our water's map point.
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 the agency lists for Rocky River: Steelhead.
Source: Ohio's Steelhead Program: Lake Erie tributaries stocked with steelhead (Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Wildlife).
Normal for Nov 6: 26–122 ft³/s (middle half of 95 years of record). Now: 126 ft³/s, above normal.
Above normal for this date. 126 ft³/s is between the 75th and 90th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 6 at this gauge over 95 years of record: 10th 14.6, 25th 26, median 59, 75th 122, 90th 304 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 6: lowest 4.3 ft³/s, highest 3,690 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 (−6% 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.
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)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.
