What this means

At 3.13 ft, the Cedar River below Diversion near Landsburg is far below normal for mid-October.

That puts it 0.31 ft below the median of 3.44 ft for mid-October, based on 34 years of readings. A year ago it stood at 3.26 ft (−0.13 ft).

The level has held steady over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. Over the past 30 days it has moved between 2.64 ft and 3.14 ft.

Fall is often low-water season on rivers, and it usually takes a few days of steady rain to change that. The sensor also reports a water temperature of 51 °F.

What the stage means on the water

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.
