The Hudson River is a freestone river in New York, listed as Special-regulation trout water by New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC), Bureau of Fisheries.
4 USGS gauges on the water report flow. 1 shop nearby are listed here; the nearest destination hub is Manchester & the Battenkill.
Hudson River is a freestone river in New York. Our destination hub Manchester & the Battenkill is 27 mi away in a straight line (44 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.

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.

Measured from the NHDPlus High Resolution (flowlines and waterbodies) (U.S. Geological Survey, read 2026-11-04) for this water’s own mapped feature. Rounded figures; they describe the channel, not today’s conditions.
Areas the Protected Areas Database of the United States (PAD-US), public access (U.S. Geological Survey, Gap Analysis Project, read 2026-11-05) lists as owned or held in easement and open to the public, crossed by the mapped channel.

Normal for Nov 5: 189–542 ft³/s (middle half of 85 years of record). Now: 118 ft³/s, below normal.
Below normal for this date. 118 ft³/s is between the 10th and 25th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 85 years of record (1926–2026): 10th 104, 25th 189, median 307, 75th 542, 90th 805 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 37 ft³/s, highest 1,410 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 (−4.1% 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.
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 1.73 ft stage, 119 ft³/s at Nov 5, 6:30 PM EST (NWS gauge NWCN6; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
Forecasts are issued as needed during times of high water, but are not routinely available.
Open the NWS gauge page · What the categories mean (National Weather Service)
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer: the trout lines New York DEC uses are 70°F.
This gauge is on our page for Hudson 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)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: 763–2,010 ft³/s (middle half of 119 years of record). Now: 443 ft³/s, much below normal.
Much below normal for this date. 443 ft³/s is below the 10th percentile of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 119 years of record (1908–2026): 10th 554, 25th 763, median 1,130, 75th 2,010, 90th 3,140 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 336 ft³/s, highest 5,060 ft³/s.

Steady over 24 hours (+3.7% 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.
