Map of USGS gauge 04231600 and the river around it
Where GENESEE RIVER AT FORD STREET BRIDGE, ROCHESTER NY sits, with 3 other gauges on the same river and our water's map point.
Normal for Nov 5: 821–2,990 ft³/s (middle half of 75 years of record). Now: 675 ft³/s, below normal.
Below normal for this date. 675 ft³/s is between the 10th and 25th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 75 years of record (1952–2026): 10th 655, 25th 821, median 1,460, 75th 2,990, 90th 5,980 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 410 ft³/s, highest 9,080 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 24.2%, from 891 to 675 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.
Under New York DEC's 70°F line. Water 55°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 55.2°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.”
DEC Asks Anglers to Help Heat-Stressed Trout and Salmon (28 June 2019) (New York State Department of Environmental Conservation)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. 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 55°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 mg/L at Nov 5, 10:30 PM EST; 7-day range 9.4–11.1 mg/L
Enough oxygen for coldwater fish: 10 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)pH 7.8 at Nov 5, 10:30 PM EST; 7-day range 7.8–8
Within EPA's freshwater range: pH 7.8 is within the 6.5–9 range EPA gives for freshwater aquatic life.
Quality Criteria for Water 1986 (“Gold Book”): dissolved oxygen, Table 1; pH (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency)Turbidity 7.8 FNU at Nov 5, 10:30 PM EST; 7-day range 5.7–10.6 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 518 µS/cm at Nov 5, 10:30 PM EST; 7-day range 505–576 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 12.7 ft stage at Nov 5, 10:30 PM EST (NWS gauge ROHN6; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS has not set flood categories for this gauge.
Forecasts are issued routinely year-round.
