Map of USGS gauge 06820500 and the river around it
Where Platte River near Agency, MO 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. Missouri Department of Conservation publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a Missouri rule, with Missouri Department of Conservation's own figure added: 68°F and 70°F.

Normal for Nov 5: 52–386 ft³/s (middle half of 100 years of record). Now: 16,500 ft³/s, highest for this date on record.
Highest for this date on record for this date. 16,500 ft³/s is above the highest daily mean recorded on this date of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 100 years of record (1925–2026): 10th 23, 25th 52, median 162, 75th 386, 90th 1,220 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 3.6 ft³/s, highest 8,150 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 11.8%, from 18,700 to 16,500 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.
Moderate flooding (NWS). NWS moderate flood stage. Stay away from the river.
Flood categories: action stage, minor, moderate and major flooding (National Weather Service)NWS forecast: Minor flooding (NWS). The National Weather Service river forecast for this gauge reaches that category. Plan around it and check the forecast again before you go.
Flood categories: action stage, minor, moderate and major flooding (National Weather Service)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.
