Map of USGS gauge 05541710 and the river around it
Where AUX SABLE CREEK NEAR MORRIS, IL sits.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. Illinois 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 Illinois rule: 68°F.
Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the Illinois Department of Natural Resources: Illinois fish stocking · Illinois Fishing Information 2026 (regulations).
Normal for Nov 5: 13–73 ft³/s (middle half of 19 years of record). Now: 62.3 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 62.3 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 19 years of record (2008–2026): 10th 3, 25th 13, median 25, 75th 73, 90th 267 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 1.77 ft³/s, highest 299 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 (+4.4% 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.
