Map of USGS gauge 06610770 and the river around it
Where Big Papillion Creek at Q Street at Omaha, Nebr. sits, with 5 other gauges on the same river.
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.
Normal for Nov 5: 34–138 ft³/s (middle half of 14 years of record). Now: 140 ft³/s, above normal.
Above normal for this date. 140 ft³/s is between the 75th and 90th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 14 years of record (2007–2026): 10th 24, 25th 34, median 67, 75th 138, 90th 370 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 19.1 ft³/s, highest 383 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 183 to 140 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.
Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission: 2026 Nebraska Fishing Guide.
