Map of USGS gauge 06115200 and the river around it
Where Missouri River near Landusky MT sits.
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: 5,380–7,600 ft³/s (middle half of 91 years of record). Now: 5,710 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 5,710 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 91 years of record (1935–2025): 10th 4,680, 25th 5,380, median 6,250, 75th 7,600, 90th 8,630 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 3,630 ft³/s, highest 15,400 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).
Steady over 24 hours (+1.8% 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.
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.
