Map of USGS gauge 09050700 and the river around it
Where BLUE RIVER BELOW DILLON, CO. sits, with 3 other gauges on the same river and our water's map point.
Normal for Nov 5: 70–109 ft³/s (middle half of 64 years of record). Now: 100 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 100 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 64 years of record (1963–2026): 10th 53, 25th 70, median 96, 75th 109, 90th 153 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 0 ft³/s, highest 244 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 (−2.9% 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 44.1°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 45°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 44.1°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 275 µS/cm at Nov 5, 7:15 PM MST; 7-day range 256–275 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 1.08 ft stage, 100 ft³/s at Nov 5, 6:15 PM MST (NWS gauge BLRC2; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS river forecast forecast issued Nov 5, 8:49 AM MST. Highest point: 1.09 ft, 103 ft³/s on Nov 5, 6:00 AM MST (Below NWS action stage).
