Map of USGS gauge 06227600 and the river around it
Where WIND RIVER NEAR KINNEAR, WY sits, with 2 other gauges on the same river 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 Wyoming Game and Fish uses are 65°F, 68°F and 70°F.
Normal for Nov 5: 393–529 ft³/s (middle half of 34 years of record). Now: 482 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 482 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 34 years of record (1992–2025): 10th 280, 25th 393, median 468, 75th 529, 90th 687 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 44.7 ft³/s, highest 900 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 (−4.2% 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.
