Map of USGS gauge 06793000 and the river around it
Where Loup River near Genoa, Nebr. 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. 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: 31–188 ft³/s (middle half of 83 years of record). Now: 748 ft³/s, above normal.
Above normal for this date. 748 ft³/s is between the 75th and 90th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 83 years of record (1944–2026): 10th 18, 25th 31, median 68, 75th 188, 90th 1,010 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 2.3 ft³/s, highest 2,040 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 45.4%, from 1,370 to 748 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.
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.
