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.

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.
