How to read this
Each river page shows the current flow, how it compares with the same date in past years, a 14-day chart and, where one has been published, the flow range anglers say fishes best. After rain, big rivers like the Grand and Cuyahoga can take a week or more to settle, while small Pennsylvania creeks are often fishable again in a day or two; each page says how long its river usually takes, and who says so.
