Map of USGS gauge 06188000 and the river around it
Where Lamar River nr Tower Ranger Station YNP sits and our water's map point.
Under Wyoming's 65°F line. Water 37°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 37.8°F. That is under the 65°F above which Wyoming Game and Fish suggests keeping trout rather than releasing them. Water warms by afternoon: “Water temperatures are coolest in the morning, giving released trout the best chance of survival.” “Carry a pocket thermometer to monitor the water temperature.”
Fishing in the heat (Wyoming Game and Fish Department)Normal for Nov 5: 140–217 ft³/s (middle half of 84 years of record). Now: 141 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 141 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 84 years of record (1924–2026): 10th 113, 25th 140, median 164, 75th 217, 90th 285 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 90 ft³/s, highest 625 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 12.4%, from 161 to 141 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.
This gauge is on our page for Lamar 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)Cold water. Water 37°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 1.03 ft stage, 296 ft³/s at Nov 5, 8:15 PM MST (NWS gauge TFLW4; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
Forecasts are issued as needed during times of high water, but are not routinely available.
