Map of USGS gauge 06751150 and the river around it
Where N FK CACHE LA POUDRE R BLW HALLIGAN RES NR VA DALE sits, with 2 other gauges on the same river 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 Colorado Parks and Wildlife uses are 71°F.
Normal for Nov 5: 0.71–4.4 ft³/s (middle half of 28 years of record). Now: 0 ft³/s, lowest for this date on record.
Lowest for this date on record for this date. 0 ft³/s is below the lowest daily mean recorded on this date of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 28 years of record (1999–2026): 10th 0.08, 25th 0.71, median 2.6, 75th 4.4, 90th 20 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 0.01 ft³/s, highest 142 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 100%, from 0.04 to 0 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.
This gauge is on our page for North Fork Cache la Poudre River, but no agency page we read lists its species.
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.
