What this means

At 172.00 ft, the Upper Vallier HW/TW near Lodge Corner is far below normal for mid-October.

The median for mid-October is 172.45 ft, based on 7 years of readings, so the river stage is 0.45 ft below typical. On the same day last year the reading was 172.52 ft, a difference of −0.52 ft.

It has barely moved over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. Over the past 30 days it has moved between 172.00 ft and 172.26 ft.

Fall is often low-water season on rivers, and it usually takes a few days of steady rain to change that.

Low water means more dragging on shallow riffles and slower floats. Fish crowd into the deeper runs, and warm, low water stresses them, so play and release them quickly.
