Caution: High water: fish the edges; wading risky

Flow 950 ft³/s: much above normal (over the 90th percentile) for Nov 5, over 81 years of USGS record. U.S. Geological Survey
If you're fishing for trout here: 50.2°F now, 50.9°F at most in 24 hours: under the National Park Service's 68°F line (federal guidance; no Nebraska line found). National Park Service
Below NWS action stage (official NWS category). That is not a statement that wading is safe. National Weather Service
Cold water, 50.2°F. NWS: cold shock is dangerous at 50-60°F and colder; “Always wear a life jacket in and around the water.” National Weather Service

What the agencies suggest

Fish the softer water along the banks. During periods of high water, fish move towards the banks to find calmer water and lower velocities Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission
Don't wade where you can't see the bottom. Wading and boating should be avoided if waters are running high and muddy and the streambed is not visible Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission
Or fish a lake instead. If stream conditions are not favorable, consider fishing at a lake Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission
