Map of USGS gauge 06892518 and the river around it
Where KANSAS R NR LAKE QUIVIRA, KS sits, with 3 other gauges on the same river.
Federal guidance. Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a Kansas rule:
Water 60.6°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 62.6°F. That is under the 68°F at which the National Park Service, at Grand Teton National Park, recommends anglers stop fishing in the afternoon (“cease fishing at 2 p.m. when water temperatures are likely to exceed 68°F”). Water warms through the afternoon, so check again later in the day: “Carry a pocket thermometer to monitor water temperature.”
Normal for Nov 5: 1,560–5,020 ft³/s (middle half of 10 years of record). Now: 11,900 ft³/s, above normal.
Above normal for this date. 11,900 ft³/s is between the 75th and 90th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 10 years of record (2017–2026): 10th 988, 25th 1,560, median 2,450, 75th 5,020, 90th 17,800 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 929 ft³/s, highest 18,500 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 12.5%, from 13,600 to 11,900 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.
Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks: Kansas trout permit and trout waters.
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.
Turn Around Don't Drown (National Weather Service)Dissolved oxygen 8.9 mg/L at Nov 5, 7:45 PM CST; 7-day range 7.7–9 mg/L
Enough oxygen for coldwater fish: 8.9 mg/L meets the 6.5 mg/L EPA sets for coldwater fish (other life stages; eggs and fry need a 8 mg/L minimum).
Quality Criteria for Water 1986 (“Gold Book”): dissolved oxygen, Table 1; pH (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency)pH 8 at Nov 5, 7:45 PM CST; 7-day range 7.9–8.3
Within EPA's freshwater range: pH 8 is within the 6.5–9 range EPA gives for freshwater aquatic life.
Quality Criteria for Water 1986 (“Gold Book”): dissolved oxygen, Table 1; pH (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency)Turbidity 162 FNU at Nov 5, 7:45 PM CST; 7-day range 44.3–250 FNU
Water clarity: Turbidity measures the relative clarity of water: higher means murkier. No agency publishes a fishing threshold for it; compare with this gauge's own recent readings.
Turbidity and Water (U.S. Geological Survey)Specific conductance 504 µS/cm at Nov 5, 7:45 PM CST; 7-day range 385–734 µS/cm
Dissolved ions: Specific conductance rises with the ions dissolved in the water. No fishing threshold is published for it; compare with this gauge's own recent readings.
Conductivity (Electrical Conductance) and Water (U.S. Geological Survey)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.
Below NWS action stage. The National Weather Service reports this gauge below its action stage. That is not a statement that wading is safe.
NWS observed 12.1 ft stage, 12,100 ft³/s at Nov 5, 7:45 PM CST (NWS gauge KLQK1; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS river forecast forecast issued Nov 5, 9:43 AM CST. Highest point: 12.1 ft, 12,500 ft³/s on Nov 5, 12:00 PM CST (Below NWS action stage).
| Day | Stage | Flow |
|---|---|---|
| Thu, Nov 5 | 12.1 ft | 12,500 ft³/s |
| Fri, Nov 6 | 11.9 ft | 10,800 ft³/s |
| Sat, Nov 7 | 11.7 ft | 9,210 ft³/s |
| Sun, Nov 8 | 11.6 ft | 8,450 ft³/s |
| Mon, Nov 9 | 11.6 ft | 8,450 ft³/s |
