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

Where BLACK RVR BLW PUMPING PLANT, NR POINT OF PINES, AZ sits.
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 list not on file for this gauge. Check the Arizona Game and Fish Department: Arizona fish stocking schedule · Arizona fishing licenses and regulations.
Normal for Nov 5: 29–67 ft³/s (middle half of 73 years of record). Now: 1,110 ft³/s, highest for this date on record.
Highest for this date on record for this date. 1,110 ft³/s is above the highest daily mean recorded on this date of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 73 years of record (1954–2026): 10th 24, 25th 29, median 38, 75th 67, 90th 186 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 15 ft³/s, highest 1,030 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 34.3%, from 1,690 to 1,110 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.
