Map of USGS gauge 04230650 and the river around it
Where GENESEE R AT BALLANTYNE BRIDGE NEAR MORTIMER NY sits, with 3 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: the trout lines New York DEC uses are 70°F.
USGS publishes no daily statistics for this gauge, so the reading is not compared with the record.
Steady over 24 hours (−0.9% 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 Genesee River: Brown Trout, Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, Rainbow Trout, Steelhead.
From our page for Genesee River, on the same river as this gauge; the agency list is for the water, not this exact reach.

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.
