Map of USGS gauge 06794650 and the river around it
Where Clear Creek 1.75 mile W of Polk County line, Nebr. sits.
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: 6.3–19 ft³/s (middle half of 30 years of record). Now: 208 ft³/s, highest for this date on record.
Highest for this date on record for this date. 208 ft³/s is above the highest daily mean recorded on this date of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 30 years of record (1997–2026): 10th 2.7, 25th 6.3, median 13, 75th 19, 90th 27 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 2.07 ft³/s, highest 33 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).
Rising over 24 hours: discharge up 127.8%, from 91.3 to 208 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.
Above NWS action stage. Above action stage: high, fast water. Don't wade.
Flood categories: action stage, minor, moderate and major flooding (National Weather Service)Rising water. Rising over the last 24 hours (discharge up 128%). Keep your way back to the bank in sight and watch the level while you fish. “Rising” is our rule of thumb: more than 10% in discharge or 0.2 ft of gauge height in 24 hours, not a USGS or NWS class.
Flow above the record for this date. Higher than any daily mean USGS has recorded on this date at this gauge. Expect much higher, faster water than usual for the season.
