For years I did not pay much attention to river flow levels. If i had
some time to fish I just showed up and whatever was happening, whether
at flood or dewatered, I was there and made the best of it.

But the last few years, and especially since I bought a streach, Ive
been paying much more attention. Washington state has a pretty
extensive set of flow and temp measuring stations linked by telemetry
to a website.

What are other States doing? Where do you go for current flow data?
How close to realtime is the data you can access?

National data.Frequency of reporting varies by state and individual
site. MA, for instance varies from 12 hrs to 2 hrs in reporting
frequencies. Generally larger streams report more frequently. A few
sites also report water temp.

discharge rates from various hydro dams. Generally within 5 minutes of
