Map of USGS gauge 06634060 and the river around it
Where L Medicine Bow R ab Sand Cr, nr Shirley Basin, WY 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 Wyoming Game and Fish uses are 65°F, 68°F and 70°F.
Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the Wyoming Game and Fish Department: Wyoming fish stocking report · Wyoming fishing regulations.
Normal for Nov 5: 2.4–4.2 ft³/s (middle half of 11 years of record). Now: 2.75 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 2.75 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 11 years of record (2016–2026): 10th 1.4, 25th 2.4, median 2.9, 75th 4.2, 90th 7.2 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 1.29 ft³/s, highest 7.37 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 (+0% 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.
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)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, 7:37 PM MST; 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.
