Map of USGS gauge 05438283 and the river around it
Where PISCASAW CREEK NEAR WALWORTH, WI sits and our water's map point.
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 the agency lists for Piscasaw Creek: Smallmouth Bass.
From our page for Piscasaw Creek, on the same river as this gauge; the agency list is for the water, not this exact reach. Source: Site-specific smallmouth bass regulations on rivers and creeks (Illinois Department of Natural Resources).
Normal for Nov 5: 1.4–2.7 ft³/s (middle half of 34 years of record). Now: 4.14 ft³/s, above normal.
Above normal for this date. 4.14 ft³/s is between the 75th and 90th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 34 years of record (1993–2026): 10th 1, 25th 1.4, median 2.2, 75th 2.7, 90th 6.1 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 0.51 ft³/s, highest 16.1 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 21.9%, from 5.3 to 4.14 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.
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, 10:09 PM CST; 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.
