Map of USGS gauge 05341550 and the river around it
Where ST. CROIX RIVER AT STILLWATER, MN sits, with 2 other gauges on the same river and our water's map point.
Federal guidance. Minnesota 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 Minnesota rule, with Minnesota DNR's own figure added:
Normal for Nov 5: 3,690–6,980 ft³/s (middle half of 13 years of record). Now: 3,990 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 3,990 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 13 years of record (2012–2024): 10th 2,820, 25th 3,690, median 4,390, 75th 6,980, 90th 8,580 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 2,640 ft³/s, highest 8,930 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 15%, from 3,470 to 3,990 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.
Under the federal 68°F line. Water 53.2°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 55.2°F. That is under the 68°F at which the National Park Service, at Grand Teton National Park, recommends anglers stop fishing in the afternoon (“cease fishing at 2 p.m. when water temperatures are likely to exceed 68°F”). Water warms through the afternoon, so check again later in the day: “Carry a pocket thermometer to monitor water temperature.”
High water temperatures prompt fishing advisory in Grand Teton National Park (29 July 2022) (National Park Service)This gauge is on our page for Saint Croix River, but no agency page we read lists its species.
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)NWS forecast: Above NWS action stage. The National Weather Service river forecast for this gauge reaches that category. Plan around it and check the forecast again before you go.
Flood categories: action stage, minor, moderate and major flooding (National Weather Service)Rising water. Rising over the last 24 hours (discharge up 15%). 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.
Cold water. Water 53.2°F. NWS: “Cold shock can be just as severe and dangerous from water temperatures of 50-60°F (10-15°C) as it is from water at 35°F (2°C).” “Always wear a life jacket in and around the water.”
Cold Water Hazards and Safety (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.
Turn Around Don't Drown (National Weather Service)Guidance from the readings above and the published thresholds named with each line; not a fishing forecast, a safety guarantee or a statement about access. Local rules and closures come first.
Below NWS action stage. The National Weather Service reports this gauge below its action stage. That is not a statement that wading is safe.
NWS observed 76.3 ft stage at Nov 5, 9:00 PM CST (NWS gauge STLM5; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS river forecast forecast issued Nov 5, 7:51 PM CST. Highest point: 80.1 ft on Nov 11, 6:00 PM CST (Above NWS action stage).
| Day | Stage | Flow |
|---|---|---|
| Fri, Nov 6 | 76.6 ft | – |
| Sat, Nov 7 | 77.2 ft | – |
| Sun, Nov 8 | 78 ft | – |
| Mon, Nov 9 | 78.8 ft | – |
