Map of USGS gauge 06063000 and the river around it
Where Tenmile Creek near Helena MT 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: the trout lines Montana FWP uses are 66°F, 68°F and 73°F.
Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks: Montana fish stocking data · Montana fishing regulations.
Normal for Nov 5: 4–14 ft³/s (middle half of 59 years of record). Now: 10.1 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 10.1 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 59 years of record (1909–2025): 10th 1.9, 25th 4, median 7.5, 75th 14, 90th 26 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 0.7 ft³/s, highest 40 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 10.6%, from 11.3 to 10.1 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.
