No flow at this gauge. USGS does not publish discharge here, so there are no flow statistics either; it reports what is shown. We found no other gauge on the same river that publishes flow.
Gauge height, last 7 days: 185 readings from Oct 29, 8:30 PM MDT to Nov 5, 7:30 PM MST; ranging 6.65 to 6.89 ft; latest 6.7 ft.
USGS provisional data may be revised. Source: USGS instantaneous values.

USGS keeps no flow statistics at this gauge, so there is no normal range for flow; the chart shows gauge height as USGS publishes it.
Water temperature, last 7 days: 169 readings from Oct 29, 8:45 PM MDT to Nov 5, 7:45 PM MST; ranging 42.6 to 55.9 °F; latest 46.9 °F.

Map of USGS gauge 07218525 and the river around it
Where SAPELLO RIVER ABOVE SAPELLO, NM sits, with 1 other gauge on the same river.
Federal guidance. 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:
Under the federal 68°F line. Water 46.9°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 50.9°F. That is under the 68°F at which the National Park Service, at Grand Teton National Park, recommends anglers stop fishing in the afternoon (“cease fishing at 2 p.m. when water temperatures are likely to exceed 68°F”). Water warms through the afternoon, so check again later in the day: “Carry a pocket thermometer to monitor water temperature.”
Steady over 24 hours (gauge height −0.04 ft). 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 New Mexico Department of Game and Fish (NM Dept. of Wildlife): New Mexico weekly fishing and stocking report · New Mexico fishing rules and info.
Cold water. Water 46.9°F. NWS: “Cold shock can be just as severe and dangerous from water temperatures of 50-60°F (10-15°C) as it is from water at 35°F (2°C).” “Always wear a life jacket in and around the water.”
Cold Water Hazards and Safety (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.
Turn Around Don't Drown (National Weather Service)Dissolved oxygen 8.8 mg/L at Nov 5, 7:30 PM MST; 7-day range 8–9.4 mg/L
Enough oxygen for coldwater fish: 8.8 mg/L meets the 6.5 mg/L EPA sets for coldwater fish (other life stages; eggs and fry need a 8 mg/L minimum).
Quality Criteria for Water 1986 (“Gold Book”): dissolved oxygen, Table 1; pH (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency)Turbidity 10.6 FNU at Nov 5, 7:30 PM MST; 7-day range 7.7–96 FNU
Water clarity: Turbidity measures the relative clarity of water: higher means murkier. No agency publishes a fishing threshold for it; compare with this gauge's own recent readings.
Turbidity and Water (U.S. Geological Survey)Guidance from the readings above and the published thresholds named with each line; not a fishing forecast, a safety guarantee or a statement about access. Local rules and closures come first.
The National Weather Service has no flood-stage gauge here, so no official flood category is shown.
Checked Nov 5, 7:54 PM MST; readings refresh at most every 15 minutes and statistics daily. Provisional USGS data can be revised. Conditions change: re-check before you go. This is general guidance, not a fishing forecast, a safety guarantee or a statement about access.
