Water Temps

Why is there no water temp. information on the USGS reporting? It would seem to be something useful. to know.

That temp in GG goes up and down like a yo-yo . It reaches 70 long before the SBR but drops back to the low 60's at night. Looking at it recently you would think it isn't measuring water temps but air temps..It hit 92 yesterday. Maybe the Creek is too low and it is measuring air temps.Rusty Spinner wrote: ↑Tue Jul 07, 2020 10:41 amThey are too expensive to maintain without a supporting funder. I tried many times to have TU fund one for either the Musky or the SBR gauge but nobody seemed interested. Some stations do have them such as Spruce Run in Glen Gardner, the Pequannock at two sites, etc.
Yup, sounds like the temperature probe is sticking out or too close to the water's surface at that USGS gauge station. No chance that water is hitting 80 let along 92lightenup wrote: ↑Tue Jul 07, 2020 11:57 amThat temp in GG goes up and down like a yo-yo .

Yippee!Just checked the USGS site for the SBR and there is a temperature graph! Is this new?
for quite a few years now August has been really fishable. My childhood memories, especially fb double sessions in hs, were pretty brutal August's.BiggerThomas wrote: ↑Fri Jul 31, 2020 9:02 amNext week's overnight lows look like they'll be in the mid to low 60s while daytime highs will be lower 80s...I'd love to get out for a week in August if possible. Temps will tell!
