64.8 °F at Paint Creek (Scioto), 38.8 miles away — the nearest gauge, not a reading of Stout Run. It says what the region's water is doing today. No reporting stretch is in the cold band right now, so fish the first hours of light and the tributary mouths. October is Blue-Winged Olive, Cranefly, Green Rock Worm / Green Weenie and Crayfish in the Virginia mountains, across the state line — 8 insects are recorded as active.
