Map of USGS gauge 08072730 and the river around it
Where Bear Ck nr Barker, TX sits.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer: the trout lines Texas Parks and Wildlife uses are 70°F and 74°F.
Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department: Texas rainbow trout stocking schedule · Texas fishing regulations.
Normal for Nov 5: 3–11 ft³/s (middle half of 47 years of record). Now: 3.71 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 3.71 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 47 years of record (1978–2026): 10th 0.66, 25th 3, median 5.8, 75th 11, 90th 40 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 0.03 ft³/s, highest 664 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 67.5%, from 11.4 to 3.71 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.
Below NWS action stage. The National Weather Service reports this gauge below its action stage. That is not a statement that wading is safe.
