A stage is this site's reading of a curated window against a date. It is not a report from the river and nothing here has seen a fish. The live map adds what this page cannot: water temperature, flow, and the staging estimator's own distribution across the zones of the sixteen rivers it models.

Where these rivers are

13 run rivers on 2 shores, drawn one shore at a time and each river in the colour of its own run stage today. One frame over all of them would be mostly open water.

Drawn 1 October 2026. The ground is the subbasin mesh the app scores in, so the coastline is where the mesh stops rather than a separate shoreline; the mark at each river is its mouth, drawn for every river including the handful whose whole run corridor is under a mile and has no line to show.
