Map of USGS gauge 04234254 and the river around it
Where GANARGUA CREEK AT MACEDON NY sits.
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.
Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation: New York fish stocking lists · New York freshwater fishing regulations.
Normal for Nov 5: 20–114 ft³/s (middle half of 12 years of record). Now: 14.3 ft³/s, below normal.
Below normal for this date. 14.3 ft³/s is between the 10th and 25th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 12 years of record (2015–2026): 10th 14, 25th 20, median 31, 75th 114, 90th 620 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 12.9 ft³/s, highest 827 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 (+2.9% 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.
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)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.
The National Weather Service has no flood-stage gauge here, so no official flood category is shown.
Checked Nov 5, 11:39 PM EST; readings refresh at most every 15 minutes and statistics daily. Provisional USGS data can be revised. Conditions change: re-check before you go. This is general guidance, not a fishing forecast, a safety guarantee or a statement about access.
