Water temperature through the yearWater temperature through the year

Water temperature, °F. The band is the middle 60% of years for each week; the line is the median. The marker is the current reading, on today's date.

Over 22 years of record, flow on Neversink River peaks in April, when the median runs about 649 ft³/s, and falls to its lowest in September at around 211 ft³/s. Today's 343 sits between the two. 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.

DEC records 193,856 fish released here in every year the dataset covers, an average of 12,924 a year, mostly Landlocked Salmon and Brown Trout. Stocking says what was put in, not what is there now, and nothing at all about when the fishing is good.

Species

Species DEC lists for this water: Brook Trout, Brown Trout. From DEC's recommended fishing waters dataset. DEC stars some names and does not say what the star means, so it is not shown.

Listed by DEC, absent from the 2011-2025 stocking records: Brook Trout. A statement about two datasets, not about the water. Wild, stocked before 2011, or recorded under another name.
