Gauge Description:
This is a hard-to-catch high water run. If you find the Lost Dry Gorge too high at the putin, Trout Run might be up.
There is an online gauge on nearby Waites Run, which is referenced here and should provide a decent correlation. Limited observations indicate Trout Run could be up whenever Waites Run excedes 100 CFS - or 4 ft. - and is rising.
In February, 2003, Trout Run read 2.2 ft. at the Rt. 55 bridge gauge when the online Waites Run gauge read approx. 200 CFS. The level was 1.1 ft. when Waites run reported approx. 130 CFS.
