What the agencies suggest
During periods of high water, fish move towards the banks to find calmer water and lower velocitiesPennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission
Wading and boating should be avoided if waters are running high and muddy and the streambed is not visiblePennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission
If stream conditions are not favorable, consider fishing at a lakePennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission

Map of USGS gauge 08324000 and the river around it
Where JEMEZ RIVER NEAR JEMEZ, NM sits, with 1 other gauge on the same river.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. New Mexico Department of Game and Fish publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a New Mexico rule: 68°F.

Normal for Nov 5: 22–40 ft³/s (middle half of 69 years of record). Now: 167 ft³/s, much above normal.
Much above normal for this date. 167 ft³/s is above the 90th percentile of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 69 years of record (1954–2023): 10th 19, 25th 22, median 27, 75th 40, 90th 59 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 12.1 ft³/s, highest 192 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 22.3%, from 215 to 167 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)Flow far above normal. Above the 90th percentile of daily mean flow for this date (USGS class “much above normal”), from 69 years of record. Expect higher, faster water than usual for the season.
