Map of USGS gauge 04077400 and the river around it
Where WOLF RIVER NEAR SHAWANO, WI sits, with 1 other gauge 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.
Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources: Wisconsin fish stocking · Wisconsin fishing regulations.
Normal for Nov 4: 594–1,150 ft³/s (middle half of 16 years of record). Daily mean for Nov 4: 829 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 829 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 4 at this gauge over 16 years of record (1986–2001): 10th 482, 25th 594, median 717, 75th 1,150, 90th 1,720 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 4: lowest 481 ft³/s, highest 2,500 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 daily mean compared is provisional).
Steady over 24 hours (gauge height −0.03 ft). 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.
Below NWS action stage. The National Weather Service reports this gauge below its action stage. That is not a statement that wading is safe.
Flood categories: action stage, minor, moderate and major flooding (National Weather Service)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.
