Map of USGS gauge 07106300 and the river around it
Where FOUNTAIN CREEK NEAR PINON, CO sits, with 6 other gauges on the same river.
Normal for Nov 5: 68–151 ft³/s (middle half of 53 years of record). Now: 92.4 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 92.4 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 53 years of record (1974–2026): 10th 34, 25th 68, median 116, 75th 151, 90th 202 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 0.5 ft³/s, highest 421 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 (−4.1% 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.
Under CPW's 71°F line. Water 51.8°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 61°F. That is under the 71°F CPW uses for its closure criteria. “CPW recommends fishing early in the day to avoid peak afternoon temperatures.” “Anglers should use a handheld thermometer to test water conditions and move to cooler, higher-elevation waters once temperatures approach 71 degrees.”
CPW implements additional voluntary fishing closures on four Western Slope rivers (16 July 2026) (Colorado Parks and Wildlife)Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the Colorado Parks and Wildlife: Colorado fish stocking report · Colorado fishing rules and 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)Cold water. Water 51.8°F. NWS: “Cold shock can be just as severe and dangerous from water temperatures of 50-60°F (10-15°C) as it is from water at 35°F (2°C).” “Always wear a life jacket in and around the water.”
Cold Water Hazards and Safety (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)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 3.13 ft stage, 90 ft³/s at Nov 5, 8:15 PM MST (NWS gauge PNNC2; 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.
