Map of USGS gauge 09046600 and the river around it
Where BLUE RIVER NEAR DILLON, CO sits, with 3 other gauges on the same river and our water's map point.
Normal for Nov 5: 35–46 ft³/s (middle half of 69 years of record). Now: 32.9 ft³/s, below normal.
Below normal for this date. 32.9 ft³/s is between the 10th and 25th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 69 years of record (1958–2026): 10th 32, 25th 35, median 39, 75th 46, 90th 55 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 26 ft³/s, highest 85.4 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 (+0% 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.
Under CPW's 71°F line. Water 43.2°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 48.6°F. That is under the 71°F CPW uses for its closure criteria. “CPW recommends fishing early in the day to avoid peak afternoon temperatures.” “Anglers should use a handheld thermometer to test water conditions and move to cooler, higher-elevation waters once temperatures approach 71 degrees.”
CPW implements additional voluntary fishing closures on four Western Slope rivers (16 July 2026) (Colorado Parks and Wildlife)This gauge is on our page for Blue River, but no agency page we read lists its species.
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)Cold water. Water 43.2°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)Specific conductance 211 µS/cm at Nov 5, 9:00 PM MST; 7-day range 208–213 µS/cm
Dissolved ions: Specific conductance rises with the ions dissolved in the water. No fishing threshold is published for it; compare with this gauge's own recent readings.
Conductivity (Electrical Conductance) 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.
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 4.4 ft stage, 33 ft³/s at Nov 5, 9:00 PM MST (NWS gauge BSWC2; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
Forecasts are issued routinely year-round.
