What is the current flow on Lehigh River?

Lehigh River was running 1,020 cubic feet per second as of Aug 1, 2026, 6:30 PM UTC, measured at USGS gauge 01449000. This is a build-time snapshot rather than a live reading — check the USGS gauge directly before relying on it.

Is Lehigh River stocked?

Q: What is the water temperature on Lehigh River?

77°F (25°C) as of Aug 1, 2026, 5:45 PM UTC, at USGS gauge 01454700. Trout come under thermal stress above about 68°F, and Montana FWP restricts angling when max daily water temperature reaches 73F for 3 consecutive days. This reading is at or above the 68°F stress threshold — many anglers stop fishing and conservation groups ask that trout not be played in warm water.

Flow measured Aug 1, 2026, 6:30 PM UTC at gauge 01449000. Temperature measured Aug 1, 2026, 5:45 PM UTC at gauge 01454700. These are build-time snapshots, not a live feed — check the USGS gauge before relying on them.

This water was above the trout-stress threshold

Lehigh River read 77°F as of Aug 1, 2026, 5:45 PM UTC. Trout come under thermal stress above roughly 68°F, and mortality after catch-and-release rises sharply in warm water. Montana FWP restricts angling when max daily water temperature reaches 73F for 3 consecutive days.

At or above that threshold many anglers stop fishing for the day, fish early morning only, or move to colder water. We are reporting a measurement, not issuing an advisory — check your state agency for any restriction actually in force.
