West Branch Ausable River is a freestone river in New York. Our destination hub The Adirondacks: Wilmington & the West Branch Ausable is 5 mi away in a straight line and lists it among its waters.
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.

Normal for Nov 5: 302–807 ft³/s (middle half of 94 years of record). Now: 208 ft³/s, below normal.
Below normal for this date. 208 ft³/s is between the 10th and 25th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 94 years of record (1911–2026): 10th 208, 25th 302, median 470, 75th 807, 90th 1,220 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 160 ft³/s, highest 3,340 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.
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 1.24 ft stage, 205 ft³/s at Nov 5, 5:15 PM EST (NWS gauge AUSN6; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
Forecasts are not available. Only observed stages are available for this point.
