Map of USGS gauge 04220045 and the river around it
Where OAK ORCHARD CREEK NEAR SHELBY NY sits, with 2 other gauges on the same river and our water's map point.
Under New York DEC's 70°F line. Water 56.7°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 56.8°F. That is not over the 70°F above which New York DEC says “trout and salmon can experience physical stress”. “Fish early in the day. Stream temperatures are at their coolest in the early morning hours.”
Normal for Nov 5: 21–182 ft³/s (middle half of 17 years of record). Now: 30.9 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 30.9 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 17 years of record (2010–2026): 10th 11, 25th 21, median 65, 75th 182, 90th 323 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 9.59 ft³/s, highest 435 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 (+2% 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.
Species the agency lists for Oak Orchard Creek: Brown Trout, Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, Rainbow Trout, Steelhead.
From our page for Oak Orchard Creek, on the same river as this gauge; the agency list is for the water, not this exact reach. Source: Steelhead Fishing in Lake Ontario Tributaries: steelhead waters with public access (New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC), Bureau of Fisheries).
Cold water. Water 56.7°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 4.5 mg/L at Nov 5, 8:30 PM EST; 7-day range 3.2–6.3 mg/L
Below EPA's coldwater mean: 4.5 mg/L is under the 6.5 mg/L 30-day mean EPA sets for coldwater fish (other life stages), though above its 4 mg/L minimum. One reading is not a 30-day mean. Wyoming Game and Fish: “Higher water temperatures lead to lower oxygen levels.”
Quality Criteria for Water 1986 (“Gold Book”): dissolved oxygen, Table 1; pH (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency) Anglers encouraged to adjust fishing practices as temperatures rise (Wyoming Game and Fish Department)Turbidity 23.9 FNU at Nov 5, 8:30 PM EST; 7-day range 23.1–27.6 FNU
Water clarity: Turbidity measures the relative clarity of water: higher means murkier. No agency publishes a fishing threshold for it; compare with this gauge's own recent readings.
Turbidity and Water (U.S. Geological Survey)Specific conductance 1,670 µS/cm at Nov 5, 8:30 PM EST; 7-day range 1,410–1,680 µS/cm
Dissolved ions: Specific conductance rises with the ions dissolved in the water. No fishing threshold is published for it; compare with this gauge's own recent readings.
Conductivity (Electrical Conductance) and Water (U.S. Geological Survey)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.
NWS observed 5.75 ft stage, 31 ft³/s at Nov 5, 8:30 PM EST (NWS gauge SBYN6; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS has not set flood categories for this gauge.
Forecasts are not available. Only observed stages are available for this point.
