The Ashuelot River is a tailwater in New Hampshire, listed as Special-regulation trout water by New Hampshire Fish and Game Department (official eRegulations edition of the Freshwater Fishing Digest).
4 USGS gauges on the water report flow. No guide or shop nearby is listed yet; the nearest destination hub is Western Massachusetts: the Deerfield & the Swift.
Ashuelot River is a tailwater in New Hampshire. Our destination hub Western Massachusetts: the Deerfield & the Swift is 33 mi away in a straight line (39 by road).
Pick one of its USGS gauges and hear from us when the flow moves into or out of its usual range for the date, or crosses a flow you set. We check the public USGS reading every 2 hours and email only when it crosses, at most once every 6 hours. Flow alone is not a fishing forecast or a safety call.
Signed in: one step. Otherwise we email a confirmation link first. Every alert has one-click links to stop it.
Start from the agency's public access map. Nothing on this page grants or implies access: check the agency map, posted signs and landowner permission before you fish.

Normal for Nov 5: 27–172 ft³/s (middle half of 75 years of record). Now: 22.8 ft³/s, below normal.
Below normal for this date. 22.8 ft³/s is between the 10th and 25th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 75 years of record (1923–2026): 10th 19, 25th 27, median 59, 75th 172, 90th 256 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 3.8 ft³/s, highest 1,810 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).
Rising over 24 hours: discharge up 15.2%, from 19.8 to 22.8 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.
NWS observed 1.86 ft stage, 23 ft³/s at Nov 5, 5:30 PM EST (NWS gauge GILN3; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).

Federal guidance. New Hampshire Fish and Game Department 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 Hampshire rule:
Under the federal 68°F line. Water 51.6°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 51.6°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.”
High water temperatures prompt fishing advisory in Grand Teton National Park (29 July 2022) (National Park Service)This gauge is on our page for Ashuelot River, but no agency page we read lists its species.
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)Rising water. Rising over the last 24 hours (discharge up 15.2%). Keep your way back to the bank in sight and watch the level while you fish. “Rising” is our rule of thumb: more than 10% in discharge or 0.2 ft of gauge height in 24 hours, not a USGS or NWS class.
Cold water. Water 51.6°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.

Normal for Nov 5: 37–252 ft³/s (middle half of 75 years of record). Now: 26.6 ft³/s, below normal.
Below normal for this date. 26.6 ft³/s is between the 10th and 25th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 75 years of record (1946–2026): 10th 22, 25th 37, median 107, 75th 252, 90th 554 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 4.2 ft³/s, highest 1,090 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 (+5.1% 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.
The National Weather Service has no flood-stage gauge here, so no official flood category is shown.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. New Hampshire Fish and Game Department 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 Hampshire rule: 68°F.
This gauge is on our page for Ashuelot River, but no agency page we read lists its species.
