Map of USGS gauge 07211500 and the river around it
Where CANADIAN RIVER NEAR TAYLOR SPRINGS, NM sits.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. New Mexico Department of Game and Fish publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a New Mexico rule: 68°F.
Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish (NM Dept. of Wildlife): New Mexico weekly fishing and stocking report · New Mexico fishing rules and info.
Normal for Nov 5: 3–23 ft³/s (middle half of 81 years of record). Now: 13.5 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 13.5 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 81 years of record (1940–2026): 10th 0.13, 25th 3, median 10, 75th 23, 90th 49 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 0 ft³/s, highest 238 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.
Below NWS action stage. The National Weather Service reports this gauge below its action stage. That is not a statement that wading is safe.
Flood categories: action stage, minor, moderate and major flooding (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.

Below NWS action stage. The National Weather Service reports this gauge below its action stage. That is not a statement that wading is safe.
NWS observed 3.72 ft stage, 15 ft³/s at Nov 5, 8:00 PM MST (NWS gauge TYLN5; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
