Readings come from USGS monitoring location 04122500, PERE MARQUETTE RIVER AT SCOTTVILLE, MI, 5.8 miles from the center of Pere Marquette River. It reports gage height and discharge.

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.
