Map of USGS gauge 07053810 and the river around it
Where Bull Creek near Walnut Shade, MO sits.
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. Check the Missouri Department of Conservation: Missouri trout fishing · Missouri fishing regulations.
Normal for Nov 5: 11–115 ft³/s (middle half of 31 years of record). Now: 18.3 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 18.3 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 31 years of record (1995–2026): 10th 5.7, 25th 11, median 32, 75th 115, 90th 395 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 3.1 ft³/s, highest 4,040 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 50.4%, from 36.9 to 18.3 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.
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.
