Map of USGS gauge 06632400 and the river around it
Where ROCK CREEK AB KING CANYON CANAL, NR ARLINGTON, 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 Rock Creek: Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout.
Source: Yellow streams (WGFD stream classification: Yellow, 50-299 lbs trout/mile) (Wyoming Game and Fish Department).
Normal for Nov 5: 9.8–16 ft³/s (middle half of 72 years of record). Now: 6.99 ft³/s, much below normal.
Much below normal for this date. 6.99 ft³/s is below the 10th percentile of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 72 years of record (1955–2026): 10th 8.3, 25th 9.8, median 12, 75th 16, 90th 21 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 5.8 ft³/s, highest 24 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 (−5.3% 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.
