Map of USGS gauge 07144570 and the river around it
Where ARKANSAS R AT MULVANE, KS sits, with 4 other gauges on the same river.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a Kansas rule: 68°F.
Normal for Nov 5: 325–940 ft³/s (middle half of 12 years of record). Now: 213 ft³/s, below normal.
Below normal for this date. 213 ft³/s is between the 10th and 25th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 12 years of record (2015–2026): 10th 148, 25th 325, median 469, 75th 940, 90th 1,530 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 104 ft³/s, highest 1,650 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 (−9.4% 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.
Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks: Kansas trout permit and trout waters.

NWS observed 5.56 ft stage, 212 ft³/s at Nov 5, 7:15 PM CST (NWS gauge MULK1; 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.
