About this gauge
Readings come from USGS monitoring location 01668000, RAPPAHANNOCK RIVER NEAR FREDERICKSBURG, VA, 2.1 miles from the centre of Rappahannock River. It reports water temperature, discharge, gage height and turbidity. 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.
Fish Club protects exact catch locations by default. Records show the waterbody — never an angler's GPS pin.
Anglers must hold a valid fishing license for the state they're fishing. Always follow your local fishing rules and regulations. Handle fish with speed and care: wet hands, minimal air time, quick release.
