Map of USGS gauge 04282795 and the river around it
Where LAPLATTE RIVER AT SHELBURNE FALLS, VT sits.
Not over Vermont's 70°F line. Water 57.2°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 57.9°F. That is not over the 70°F above which Vermont Fish and Wildlife asks anglers to avoid catch-and-release fishing for stream trout. “Fish early in the morning when stream temperatures are at their coolest.”
Vermont F&W Has Some Hot Weather Fishing Tips (16 July 2020) (Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department)Normal for Nov 5: 11–45 ft³/s (middle half of 36 years of record). Now: 4.06 ft³/s, lowest for this date on record.
Lowest for this date on record for this date. 4.06 ft³/s is below the lowest daily mean recorded on this date of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 36 years of record (1991–2026): 10th 7.5, 25th 11, median 21, 75th 45, 90th 105 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 5.22 ft³/s, highest 181 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 (+5.5% 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.

Cold water. Water 57.2°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.
