Map of USGS gauge 06893100 and the river around it
Where BLUE R AT KENNETH RD, OVERLAND PARK, KS sits, with 5 other gauges on the same river.
Normal for Nov 5: 2.8–23 ft³/s (middle half of 23 years of record). Now: 44.7 ft³/s, above normal.
Above normal for this date. 44.7 ft³/s is between the 75th and 90th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 23 years of record (2004–2026): 10th 1.7, 25th 2.8, median 9.4, 75th 23, 90th 99 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 1.45 ft³/s, highest 286 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 40%, from 74.5 to 44.7 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.
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:
Under the federal 68°F line. Water 57.4°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 60.4°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.”
High water temperatures prompt fishing advisory in Grand Teton National Park (29 July 2022) (National Park Service)Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks: Kansas trout permit and trout waters.
Cold water. Water 57.4°F. NWS: “Cold shock can be just as severe and dangerous from water temperatures of 50-60°F (10-15°C) as it is from water at 35°F (2°C).” “Always wear a life jacket in and around the water.”
Cold Water Hazards and Safety (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 8.4 mg/L at Nov 5, 8:30 PM CST; 7-day range 5.7–9.5 mg/L
Enough oxygen for coldwater fish: 8.4 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, 8:30 PM CST; 7-day range 7.8–8
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 20.6 FNU at Nov 5, 8:30 PM CST; 7-day range 2.8–218 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 518 µS/cm at Nov 5, 8:30 PM CST; 7-day range 340–676 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.
The National Weather Service has no flood-stage gauge here, so no official flood category is shown.
Checked Nov 5, 8:58 PM CST; readings refresh at most every 15 minutes and statistics daily. Provisional USGS data can be revised. Conditions change: re-check before you go. This is general guidance, not a fishing forecast, a safety guarantee or a statement about access.
