Where Baron Fork at Eldon, OK sits, with 1 other gauge on the same river.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer: the trout lines Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation uses are 60°F and 70°F.

Normal for Nov 5: 42–225 ft³/s (middle half of 78 years of record). Now: 46.5 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 46.5 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 78 years of record (1949–2026): 10th 17, 25th 42, median 80, 75th 225, 90th 761 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 2.6 ft³/s, highest 5,200 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.
