Where SCRIBA CREEK NEAR CONSTANTIA 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: 38–113 ft³/s (middle half of 14 years of record). Now: 14.6 ft³/s, lowest for this date on record.
Lowest for this date on record for this date. 14.6 ft³/s is below the lowest daily mean recorded on this date of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 14 years of record (1967–2026): 10th 25, 25th 38, median 64, 75th 113, 90th 226 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 19.4 ft³/s, highest 249 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 (+7.4% 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.
