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 09383400 and the river around it
Where LITTLE COLORADO RIVER AT GREER, AZ 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: the trout lines Arizona Game and Fish uses are 67°F.
Species the agency lists for Little Colorado River: Brown Trout.

Normal for Nov 5: 1.3–4.9 ft³/s (middle half of 40 years of record). Now: 139 ft³/s, highest for this date on record.
Highest for this date on record for this date. 139 ft³/s is above the highest daily mean recorded on this date of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 40 years of record (1961–2026): 10th 0.23, 25th 1.3, median 2.4, 75th 4.9, 90th 8.9 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 0.14 ft³/s, highest 18.4 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 20.1%, from 174 to 139 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 above the record for this date. Higher than any daily mean USGS has recorded on this date at this gauge. Expect much higher, faster water than usual for the season.
