The Little River is a freestone river in Vermont, listed as Trophy / quality trout water by Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department / Vermont Fish and Wildlife Board.
2 USGS gauges on the water report flow. 1 guide and 2 shops nearby are listed here.
Little River is a freestone river in Vermont.
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.

Flows, gauge statistics and flood stages come from USGS and the National Weather Service when the page is shown.

Normal for Nov 5: 95–175 ft³/s (middle half of 10 years of record). Now: 28.7 ft³/s, lowest for this date on record.
Lowest for this date on record for this date. 28.7 ft³/s is below the lowest daily mean recorded on this date of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 10 years of record (2017–2026): 10th 42, 25th 95, median 127, 75th 175, 90th 239 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 38.6 ft³/s, highest 244 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 (+0% 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.
NWS observed 0.95 ft stage, 29 ft³/s at Nov 5, 5:45 PM EST (NWS gauge MOSV1; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS has not set flood categories for this gauge.

Normal for Nov 5: 84–348 ft³/s (middle half of 90 years of record). Now: 44.5 ft³/s, below normal.
Below normal for this date. 44.5 ft³/s is between the 10th and 25th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 90 years of record (1937–2026): 10th 7.7, 25th 84, median 218, 75th 348, 90th 550 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 1.6 ft³/s, highest 1,050 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 (−2% 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.
NWS observed 5.71 ft stage, 45 ft³/s at Nov 5, 5:45 PM EST (NWS gauge WTBV1; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).

No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer: the trout lines Vermont Fish and Wildlife uses are 70°F.
This gauge is on our page for Little River, but no agency page we read lists its species.
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.
