What the agencies suggest
During periods of high water, fish move towards the banks to find calmer water and lower velocitiesPennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission
Wading and boating should be avoided if waters are running high and muddy and the streambed is not visiblePennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission
If stream conditions are not favorable, consider fishing at a lakePennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission

Map of USGS gauge 06228350 and the river around it
Where SF L WIND RIV AB WASHAKIE RES, NR FT WASHAKIE, WY sits.
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: 24–43 ft³/s (middle half of 42 years of record). Now: 70.7 ft³/s, much above normal.
Much above normal for this date. 70.7 ft³/s is above the 90th percentile of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 42 years of record (1977–2026): 10th 18, 25th 24, median 30, 75th 43, 90th 50 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 11 ft³/s, highest 71.9 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 (−9.7% 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.
Flow far above normal. Above the 90th percentile of daily mean flow for this date (USGS class “much above normal”), from 42 years of record. Expect higher, faster water than usual for the season.
