Map of USGS gauge 06024450 and the river around it
Where Big Hole River bl Big Lake Cr at Wisdom MT sits, with 2 other gauges on the same river and our water's map point.
Under Montana FWP's 68°F line. Water 37.9°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 38.7°F. Montana FWP cites a study in which trout “caught and released from water with a temperature above 68 degrees F were far more likely to perish than those taken from cooler water.” Water warms through the day: “Fish in the cool morning hours.”
USGS publishes no daily statistics for this gauge, so the reading is not compared with the record.
Steady over 24 hours (−8.7% 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.
Species the agency lists for Big Hole River: Arctic Grayling, Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Burbot, Common Carp, Longnose Dace, Longnose Sucker, Mottled Sculpin, Mountain Sucker, Mountain Whitefish, Rainbow Trout, Redside Shiner, Westslope Cutthroat Trout, White Sucker, Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout.

Cold water. Water 37.9°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.
