Map of USGS gauge 07016500 and the river around it
Where Bourbeuse River at Union, MO sits and our water's map point.
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.
This gauge is on our page for Bourbeuse River, but no agency page we read lists its species.
Normal for Nov 5: 44.6–316 ft³/s (middle half of 105 years of record). Now: 52.6 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 52.6 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 105 years of record: 10th 34, 25th 44.6, median 86.7, 75th 316, 90th 1,098 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 16 ft³/s, highest 10,200 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).
Steady over 24 hours (−3.8% discharge). 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 3.14 ft stage, 82 ft³/s at Nov 5, 11:00 PM CST (NWS gauge UNNM7; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
