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 09288180 and the river around it
Where STRAWBERRY RIVER NEAR DUCHESNE, UT sits, with 1 other gauge on the same river and our water's map point.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. Utah Division of Wildlife Resources publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a Utah rule: 68°F.
Species the agency lists for Strawberry River: Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout.
Normal for Nov 5: 73–94 ft³/s (middle half of 58 years of record). Now: 135 ft³/s, much above normal.
Much above normal for this date. 135 ft³/s is above the 90th percentile of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 58 years of record (1969–2026): 10th 65, 25th 73, median 81, 75th 94, 90th 123 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 59.2 ft³/s, highest 301 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 11.8%, from 153 to 135 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.

Flow far above normal. Above the 90th percentile of daily mean flow for this date (USGS class “much above normal”), from 58 years of record. Expect higher, faster water than usual for the season.
