Map of USGS gauge 03303000 and the river around it
Where BLUE RIVER NEAR WHITE CLOUD, IN sits, with 1 other gauge on the same river and our water's map point.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. Indiana DNR publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a Indiana rule: 68°F.
This gauge is on our page for Blue River, but no agency page we read lists its species.
Normal for Nov 5: 42–214 ft³/s (middle half of 94 years of record). Now: 323 ft³/s, above normal.
Above normal for this date. 323 ft³/s is between the 75th and 90th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 94 years of record (1932–2025): 10th 26, 25th 42, median 83, 75th 214, 90th 768 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 16.7 ft³/s, highest 3,100 ft³/s.
Classes as USGS labels them (hyswap: flow categories (WDFN_stats schema) (U.S. Geological Survey) ); percentiles from the USGS daily statistics (U.S. Geological Survey) (approved daily means; the reading is provisional and instantaneous).
Rising over 24 hours: discharge up 109.7%, from 154 to 323 ft³/s. Rising or falling means a change of more than 10% in discharge (or 0.2 ft of gauge height) over 24 hours; our rule of thumb, not a USGS class.
Rising water. Rising over the last 24 hours (discharge up 110%). Keep your way back to the bank in sight and watch the level while you fish. “Rising” is our rule of thumb: more than 10% in discharge or 0.2 ft of gauge height in 24 hours, not a USGS or NWS class.
Turn Around Don't Drown. “A mere 6 inches of fast-moving flood water can knock over an adult.” No flow number makes a crossing safe; if in doubt, stay out.
