Stream temps?

[CRB]

With the amount of rain we have been getting what's the word on north central PA stream temps?
Living in Erie county my pool has been over flowing every rain for the past 3 weeks.

Only 3 weeks? Mine has been just filtering rather than skimmer, more weeks than not, all summer.

There were a few times in July but the past 3 weeks has been very wet and stormy.

 

[tomgamber]

Agreed. All summer here.

Can't speak to NC streams, but I fished a Pocono freestone today that was at a perfect 62F, but with a low flow.

Give me two guesses but I’ll only need one? 😉

OP - I would think stream temps are likely fine in NCPA. The best buffer for rising stream temps (other than cool air temps) is flow volume.

I live near Harrisburg. Maybe a day or two barely hit 90 in the last several weeks, maybe. Subtract 10 degrees on average for what I generally consider NCPA. It hasn’t been that hot since July.

Edit: I’m ready for 70 highs, 45 lows, and 50 dewpoints as much as anyone though.

No, not that one. 😆I was actually fishing in Monroe county today.
There's a young guy on YouTube who's been doing a couple videos on that stream. He finished one of them at the very spot I always used park at.

Potter County streams are in great shape now. Good stream flow and water temps high 50’s to low 60’s

I've noticed that on one or two of the few USGS gauges that show temps, there have been dips into the upper 50's. Temps after a cool night or two should be fine on most wild trout streams. Just watch the forecast. Warm days with warm nights are not conducive to good fishing. We're in a time of year when temps are going to make pretty big swings over the course of the day and from day to day. The fishing can be inconsistent but I think the fish are through the worst of it, as long as the rain keeps coming. Streams are in better shape than the past few years but it's still low and clear summer/fall conditions. The rain comes but most creeks drop and clear pretty quick still. As long as there's green vegetation, we need the rain to keep up.
