USGS for Western Poconos

[BrookTroutLover]

What USGS points do you use for Lehigh gorge area tributaries? Trying to find the best data points to anticipate what the flows will be on trips north of Jim Thorpe specifically. Thanks in advance for suggestions.

I haven't spent much time in the area but I believe most of the gauges are downstream of impoundments. That's going to make it difficult to get a solid relationship to flows in tributaries.

The Tunkhannock gauge may be the most relevant?

Tunk, Tobyhanna, and Lehigh stodddardville gauges will give you an idea how low things are currently

If you are fishing the gorge use the White Haven gauge.. Not aware of any gauges for Lehigh tribs in that area ie Hickory R. Drakes Ck etc

Anything <750 fps is fishable. The lower the better. 350 Fps is great fishing.
