Reading Nov 5, 10:15 AM CST · provisional USGS data
No flow at this gauge. USGS does not publish discharge here, so there are no flow statistics either; it reports what is shown. We found no other gauge on the same river that publishes flow.
Water temperature, last 7 days: 160 readings from Oct 29, 8:45 PM CDT to Nov 5, 10:15 AM CST; ranging 42.4 to 50.4 °F; latest 42.4 °F.
USGS provisional data may be revised. Source: USGS instantaneous values.

Map of USGS gauge 06467700 and the river around it
Where JAMES RIVER ON US HWY 52 NEAR MANFRED, ND sits, with 1 other gauge on the same river.
Federal guidance. North Dakota Game and Fish Department publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a North Dakota rule:
Under the federal 68°F line. Water 42.4°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 45°F. That is under the 68°F at which the National Park Service, at Grand Teton National Park, recommends anglers stop fishing in the afternoon (“cease fishing at 2 p.m. when water temperatures are likely to exceed 68°F”). Water warms through the afternoon, so check again later in the day: “Carry a pocket thermometer to monitor water temperature.”
Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the North Dakota Game and Fish Department: North Dakota fishing regulations.
Cold water. Water 42.4°F. NWS: “Cold shock can be just as severe and dangerous from water temperatures of 50-60°F (10-15°C) as it is from water at 35°F (2°C).” “Always wear a life jacket in and around the water.”
Cold Water Hazards and Safety (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.
Turn Around Don't Drown (National Weather Service)Specific conductance 2,030 µS/cm at Nov 5, 10:15 AM CST; 7-day range 2,000–2,030 µS/cm
Dissolved ions: Specific conductance rises with the ions dissolved in the water. No fishing threshold is published for it; compare with this gauge's own recent readings.
Conductivity (Electrical Conductance) and Water (U.S. Geological Survey)Guidance from the readings above and the published thresholds named with each line; not a fishing forecast, a safety guarantee or a statement about access. Local rules and closures come first.
The National Weather Service has no flood-stage gauge here, so no official flood category is shown.
Checked Nov 5, 8:39 PM CST; readings refresh at most every 15 minutes and statistics daily. Provisional USGS data can be revised. Conditions change: re-check before you go. This is general guidance, not a fishing forecast, a safety guarantee or a statement about access.
