How this water changes through the year
Over 22 years of record, flow on Mohawk River peaks in April, when the median runs about 10,900 ft³/s, and falls to its lowest in September at around 1,700 ft³/s. Today's 1,960 is close to that low. The band on the chart is where the middle 60% of years fall, so a reading inside it is ordinary for the date and one outside it is not.

Exact figures by year
| Year | Fish released |
|---|---|
| 2011 | 5,700 |
DEC records 5,700 fish released here in every year the dataset covers, an average of 5,700 a year, mostly Tiger Muskellunge. Stocking says what was put in, not what is there now, and nothing at all about when the fishing is good.
No stocking recorded since 2011. The dataset runs to 2011, so this is an absence of records, not necessarily an absence of fish.
