Map of USGS gauge 15290000 and the river around it
Where L SUSITNA R NR PALMER AK sits and our water's map point.
Federal guidance. Alaska Department of Fish and Game publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a Alaska rule:
Under the federal 68°F line. Water 34.5°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 34.7°F. That is under the 68°F at which the National Park Service, at Grand Teton National Park, recommends anglers stop fishing in the afternoon (“cease fishing at 2 p.m. when water temperatures are likely to exceed 68°F”). Water warms through the afternoon, so check again later in the day: “Carry a pocket thermometer to monitor water temperature.”
Normal for Nov 5: 60–92 ft³/s (middle half of 78 years of record). Now: 114 ft³/s, above normal.
Above normal for this date. 114 ft³/s is between the 75th and 90th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 78 years of record (1949–2026): 10th 47, 25th 60, median 71, 75th 92, 90th 118 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 32 ft³/s, highest 293 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).
Steady over 24 hours (−3.4% discharge). 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.
Species the agency lists for Little Susitna River: Coho salmon, King salmon.
Source: ADF&G Southcentral sport fishing regulations, Knik Arm: unbaited artificial lures or flies only (all or part of the year) (Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Division of Sport Fish).
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)Cold water. Water 34.5°F. NWS: “Cold shock can be just as severe and dangerous from water temperatures of 50-60°F (10-15°C) as it is from water at 35°F (2°C).” “Always wear a life jacket in and around the water.”
Cold Water Hazards and Safety (National Weather Service)Turn Around Don't Drown. “A mere 6 inches of fast-moving flood water can knock over an adult.” No flow number makes a crossing safe; if in doubt, stay out.
Turn Around Don't Drown (National Weather Service)Guidance from the readings above and the published thresholds named with each line; not a fishing forecast, a safety guarantee or a statement about access. Local rules and closures come first.
Below NWS action stage. The National Weather Service reports this gauge below its action stage. That is not a statement that wading is safe.
NWS observed 2.5 ft stage, 138 ft³/s at Nov 5, 4:15 PM AKST (NWS gauge LSUA2; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
Forecasts are issued routinely during the warm season, and as needed at other times of the year.

Checked Nov 5, 5:02 PM AKST; readings refresh at most every 15 minutes and statistics daily. Provisional USGS data can be revised. Conditions change: re-check before you go. This is general guidance, not a fishing forecast, a safety guarantee or a statement about access.
