About this gauge

Readings come from USGS monitoring location 01457500, Delaware River at Riegelsville NJ, 15.0 miles from the centre of Delaware River. It reports gage height, discharge and water temperature. Values refresh every 30 minutes and are provisional until the agency reviews them. Gauge readings describe the river at that point; conditions upstream and downstream will differ.

Delaware River fishing records

The gauge is half the picture. The other half is what came out of the water: verified catches, the current record, and the anglers holding it.
