Map of USGS gauge 04065106 and the river around it
Where MENOMINEE RIVER AT NIAGARA, WI sits, with 6 other gauges on the same river.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin rule: 68°F.
Normal for Nov 5: 1,290–2,050 ft³/s (middle half of 34 years of record). Now: 1,910 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 1,910 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 34 years of record (1993–2026): 10th 1,100, 25th 1,290, median 1,570, 75th 2,050, 90th 3,030 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 983 ft³/s, highest 4,540 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).
Steady over 24 hours (+6.1% discharge). 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.
