Loomis Valley Brook is a freestone river in New Hampshire, listed as Catch and release by New Hampshire Fish and Game Department (official eRegulations edition of the Freshwater Fishing Digest).
The nearest USGS gauge on the same stream system is shown, labelled. 1 guide and 1 shop nearby are listed here.
Loomis Valley Brook is a freestone river in New Hampshire. The nearest destination hub is across the state line: the Rangeley Lakes hub (Maine) is 23 mi away in a straight line but 51 by road, much of it on back roads.
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.

Seasons, limits, special regulations and closures for each reach are on the agency pages below. Read them before you go.
Each comes from the agency's own published list; where the list names a reach it is quoted. A designation applies to the listed reach, not necessarily the whole water. Listed in the finder under trout.

The Rangeley Lakes hub (Maine) is 23 mi away in a straight line but 51 by road, much of it on back roads, so we don't call Loomis Valley Brook near it. The trip planner builds a trip around the water itself: the guides and shops listed within 40 miles of it, its gauges and its nearest towns and airports.

A water page organises discovery. It does not assert public access, legal access, current fish presence, guide availability or fishing conditions.
Flows, gauge statistics and flood stages come from USGS and the National Weather Service when the page is shown. Regulations, stocking, species and season statements link to the agency that publishes them; this page copies only the species names and the quoted sentences. Guide and shop listings come from the Legendary directories. Position: a point on the mapped channel of “Loomis Valley Brook”, halfway along its length in New Hampshire, from the USGS high-resolution hydrography (NHDPlus HR), read 4 Nov 2026. It marks the water, not a particular access or reach. Water type is our own classification.

Normal for Nov 5: 174–489 ft³/s (middle half of 85 years of record). Now: 64.5 ft³/s, much below normal.
Much below normal for this date. 64.5 ft³/s is below the 10th percentile of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 85 years of record (1942–2026): 10th 108, 25th 174, median 267, 75th 489, 90th 728 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 54 ft³/s, highest 1,350 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 13.4%, from 56.9 to 64.5 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.
NWS observed 2.09 ft stage, 63 ft³/s at Nov 5, 5:15 PM EST (NWS gauge DIAN3; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS has not set flood categories for this gauge.

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 Loomis Valley Brook, but no agency page we read lists its species.
Rising water. Rising over the last 24 hours (discharge up 13.4%). 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.
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.

Checked Nov 5, 6:20 PM EST; 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.
