Map of USGS gauge 06279940 and the river around it
Where NORTH FORK SHOSHONE RIVER AT WAPITI, WY 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 Wyoming Game and Fish uses are 65°F, 68°F and 70°F.
Species the agency lists for North Fork Shoshone River: Rainbow Trout, Yellowstone Cutthroat.
Source: Blue Ribbon streams (WGFD stream classification: Blue, >= 600 lbs trout/mile) (Wyoming Game and Fish Department).
Normal for Nov 5: 211–311 ft³/s (middle half of 37 years of record). Now: 199 ft³/s, below normal.
Below normal for this date. 199 ft³/s is between the 10th and 25th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 37 years of record: 10th 182, 25th 211, median 260, 75th 311, 90th 387 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 130 ft³/s, highest 689 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 (−6.6% 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.
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.
