Map of USGS gauge 05506350 and the river around it
Where Middle Fork Salt River near Holliday, MO sits.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. Missouri Department of Conservation publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a Missouri rule, with Missouri Department of Conservation's own figure added: 68°F and 70°F.
Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the Missouri Department of Conservation: Missouri trout fishing · Missouri fishing regulations.
Normal for Nov 5: 3.2–24 ft³/s (middle half of 27 years of record). Now: 405 ft³/s, above normal.
Above normal for this date. 405 ft³/s is between the 75th and 90th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 27 years of record (2000–2026): 10th 1, 25th 3.2, median 9.8, 75th 24, 90th 908 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 0.13 ft³/s, highest 1,350 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).
Falling over 24 hours: discharge down 15.6%, from 480 to 405 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.
Below NWS action stage. The National Weather Service reports this gauge below its action stage. That is not a statement that wading is safe.
