Map of USGS gauge 06295113 and the river around it
Where Rosebud C at Reservation Bndry nr Kirby MT sits, with 1 other gauge on the same river.
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 list not on file for this gauge. Check the Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks: Montana fish stocking data · Montana fishing regulations.
Normal for Nov 5: 1.8–4.8 ft³/s (middle half of 44 years of record). Now: 1.14 ft³/s, below normal.
Below normal for this date. 1.14 ft³/s is between the 10th and 25th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 44 years of record (1980–2026): 10th 0.83, 25th 1.8, median 3.6, 75th 4.8, 90th 8.2 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 0.4 ft³/s, highest 12.5 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 23.5%, from 1.49 to 1.14 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.
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.
