Map of USGS gauge 06921070 and the river around it
Where Pomme de Terre River near Polk, MO sits, with 2 other gauges on the same river.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. 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: 68°F and 70°F.
Species list not on file for this gauge.
Normal for Nov 5: 20–187 ft³/s (middle half of 58 years of record). Now: 13.1 ft³/s, below normal.
Below normal for this date. 13.1 ft³/s is between the 10th and 25th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 58 years of record (1969–2026): 10th 12, 25th 20, median 48, 75th 187, 90th 340 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 8 ft³/s, highest 5,240 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 28.4%, from 18.3 to 13.1 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.
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.

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 1.53 ft stage at Nov 5, 9:30 PM CST (NWS gauge POKM7; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
