Reading Nov 5, 5:15 PM MST · provisional USGS data
No flow here now. USGS stopped publishing discharge at this gauge on Nov 1, 2024; it still reports what is shown. Flow on the same river: FOUNTAIN CREEK AT 8TH STREET AT PUEBLO, CO (USGS 07106510, 0.9 miles away).
Water temperature, last 7 days: 185 readings from Oct 29, 6:15 PM MDT to Nov 5, 5:15 PM MST; ranging 46.8 to 65.5 °F; latest 58.3 °F.

Map of USGS gauge 07106500 and the river around it
Where FOUNTAIN CREEK AT PUEBLO, CO. sits, with 3 other gauges on the same river.
Under CPW's 71°F line. Water 58.3°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 60.4°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.”
Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the Colorado Parks and Wildlife: Colorado fish stocking report · Colorado fishing rules and regulations.
Cold water. Water 58.3°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)Specific conductance 1,080 µS/cm at Nov 5, 5:15 PM MST; 7-day range 1,060–1,100 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.
