Map of USGS gauge 06466470 and the river around it
Where Howe Creek below Walker Draw near Center, Nebr. sits.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. Nebraska Game and Parks Commission publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a Nebraska rule: 68°F.
Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission: 2026 Nebraska Fishing Guide.
Not ranked: USGS has fewer than 10 years of daily flows for this date here.
Falling over 24 hours: discharge down 11.6%, from 16.4 to 14.5 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.
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.
