Map of USGS gauge 07145600 and the river around it
Where ARKANSAS R ON HWY 160 AT OXFORD, 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: 410–1,090 ft³/s (middle half of 12 years of record). Now: 442 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 442 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 12 years of record (2015–2026): 10th 310, 25th 410, median 803, 75th 1,090, 90th 4,230 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 279 ft³/s, highest 4,590 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 18.1%, from 540 to 442 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.
Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks: Kansas trout permit and trout waters.

NWS observed 7.54 ft stage, 441 ft³/s at Nov 5, 8:45 PM CST (NWS gauge OXFK1; 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.
