Where TIMPAS CREEK AT MOUTH NEAR SWINK, CO. sits.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer: the trout lines Colorado Parks and Wildlife uses are 71°F.
Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the Colorado Parks and Wildlife: Colorado fish stocking report · Colorado fishing rules and regulations.
Normal for Nov 5: 54–106 ft³/s (middle half of 61 years of record). Now: 1,070 ft³/s, highest for this date on record.
Highest for this date on record for this date. 1,070 ft³/s is above the highest daily mean recorded on this date of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 61 years of record (1923–2026): 10th 36, 25th 54, median 82, 75th 106, 90th 143 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 7.44 ft³/s, highest 228 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).
Rising over 24 hours: discharge up 2,839.6%, from 36.4 to 1,070 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.
Rising water. Rising over the last 24 hours (discharge up 2,840%). Keep your way back to the bank in sight and watch the level while you fish. “Rising” is our rule of thumb: more than 10% in discharge or 0.2 ft of gauge height in 24 hours, not a USGS or NWS class.
Flow above the record for this date. Higher than any daily mean USGS has recorded on this date at this gauge. Expect much higher, faster water than usual for the season.
