Map of USGS gauge 06207500 and the river around it
Where Clarks Fork Yellowstone River nr Belfry MT sits and our water's map point.
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 the agency lists for Clarks Fork Yellowstone River: Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Cutthroat Trout, Rainbow Trout, Yellowstone Cutthroat.
From our page for Clarks Fork Yellowstone River, on the same river as this gauge; the agency list is for the water, not this exact reach. Source: Yellow streams (WGFD stream classification: Yellow, 50-299 lbs trout/mile) (Wyoming Game and Fish Department).
Normal for Nov 5: 209–375 ft³/s (middle half of 103 years of record). Now: 212 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 212 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 103 years of record (1922–2025): 10th 151, 25th 209, median 279, 75th 375, 90th 485 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 59 ft³/s, highest 628 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 (−3.6% 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.
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.

NWS observation not current. NWS has no current observation at this gauge, so no flood category is shown.
