Where EAST BRANCH PECATONICA RIVER NR BLANCHARDVILLE, WI sits.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. Wisconsin DNR publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a Wisconsin rule: 68°F.
Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources: Wisconsin fish stocking · Wisconsin fishing regulations.
Normal for Nov 5: 87–152 ft³/s (middle half of 86 years of record). Now: 180 ft³/s, above normal.
Above normal for this date. 180 ft³/s is between the 75th and 90th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 86 years of record (1940–2026): 10th 68, 25th 87, median 119, 75th 152, 90th 202 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 56 ft³/s, highest 609 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 12.2%, from 205 to 180 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.
Below NWS action stage. The National Weather Service reports this gauge below its action stage. That is not a statement that wading is safe.
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.

Below NWS action stage. The National Weather Service reports this gauge below its action stage. That is not a statement that wading is safe.
NWS observed 5.13 ft stage, 183 ft³/s at Nov 5, 1:00 PM CST (NWS gauge BCHW3; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
