Map of USGS gauge 06893820 and the river around it
Where Little Blue R. at Lees Summit Rd in Independence sits, with 1 other gauge on the same river.
Federal guidance. 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:
Under the federal 68°F line. Water 60.1°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 61.9°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: 11–41 ft³/s (middle half of 17 years of record). Now: 90.3 ft³/s, above normal.
Above normal for this date. 90.3 ft³/s is between the 75th and 90th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 17 years of record (2010–2026): 10th 6, 25th 11, median 13, 75th 41, 90th 123 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 5.01 ft³/s, highest 308 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 22.8%, from 117 to 90.3 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 Missouri Department of Conservation: Missouri trout fishing · Missouri fishing regulations.
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 8.6 mg/L at Nov 5, 8:15 PM CST; 7-day range 4.8–8.7 mg/L
Enough oxygen for coldwater fish: 8.6 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)Turbidity 6.6 FNU at Nov 5, 8:15 PM CST; 7-day range 2.4–315 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 466 µS/cm at Nov 5, 8:15 PM CST; 7-day range 241–659 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 5.02 ft stage, 76 ft³/s at Nov 5, 7:15 PM CST (NWS gauge LRLM7; 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.

Checked Nov 5, 8:55 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.
