Map of USGS gauge 06893080 and the river around it
Where BLUE R NR STANLEY, KS sits, with 5 other gauges on the same river.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. 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: 68°F.
Normal for Nov 5: 1.6–20 ft³/s (middle half of 52 years of record). Now: 33.5 ft³/s, above normal.
Above normal for this date. 33.5 ft³/s is between the 75th and 90th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 52 years of record (1975–2026): 10th 0.1, 25th 1.6, median 6.3, 75th 20, 90th 68 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 0 ft³/s, highest 123 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 42.2%, from 58 to 33.5 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.
NWS observed 4.46 ft stage, 36 ft³/s at Nov 5, 7:45 PM CST (NWS gauge STAK1; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
Forecasts are issued as needed during times of high water, but are not routinely available.
