Map of USGS gauge 06894650 and the river around it
Where Missouri River at Napoleon, MO sits, with 3 other gauges on the same river and our water's map point.
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:
Normal for Nov 5: 44,300–53,300 ft³/s (middle half of 11 years of record). Now: 76,600 ft³/s, above normal.
Above normal for this date. 76,600 ft³/s is between the 75th and 90th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 11 years of record (2016–2026): 10th 39,300, 25th 44,300, median 48,000, 75th 53,300, 90th 130,000 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 38,600 ft³/s, highest 136,000 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).
Rising over 24 hours: discharge up 19.3%, from 64,200 to 76,600 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.
Under the federal 68°F line. Water 60.3°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 61.2°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)This gauge is on our page for Missouri River, but no agency page we read lists its species.
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)Rising water. Rising over the last 24 hours (discharge up 19.3%). Keep your way back to the bank in sight and watch the level while you fish. “Rising” is our rule of thumb: more than 10% in discharge or 0.2 ft of gauge height in 24 hours, not a USGS or NWS class.
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 7.9 mg/L at Nov 5, 10:45 PM CST; 7-day range 7.8–9.2 mg/L
Enough oxygen for coldwater fish: 7.9 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, 10:45 PM CST; 7-day range 8–8.3
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 254 FNU at Nov 5, 10:45 PM CST; 7-day range 28.5–254 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 566 µS/cm at Nov 5, 10:45 PM CST; 7-day range 566–732 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 ft stage, 76,900 ft³/s at Nov 5, 10:00 PM CST (NWS gauge NAPM7; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS river forecast forecast issued Nov 5, 9:43 AM CST. Highest point: 12.2 ft, 78,400 ft³/s on Nov 5, 6:00 PM CST (Below NWS action stage).
| Day | Stage | Flow |
|---|---|---|
| Thu, Nov 5 | 12.2 ft | 78,400 ft³/s |
| Fri, Nov 6 | 12.2 ft | 78,400 ft³/s |
| Sat, Nov 7 | 12 ft | 76,900 ft³/s |
| Sun, Nov 8 | 11.9 ft | 76,100 ft³/s |
| Mon, Nov 9 | 11.2 ft | 70,500 ft³/s |
