Map of USGS gauge 09080400 and the river around it
Where FRYINGPAN RIVER NEAR RUEDI, CO. sits and our water's map point.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer: the trout lines Colorado Parks and Wildlife uses are 71°F.
This gauge is on our page for Fryingpan River, but no agency page we read lists its species.
Normal for Nov 5: 70.3–114 ft³/s (middle half of 62 years of record). Now: 43.4 ft³/s, much below normal.
Much below normal for this date. 43.4 ft³/s is below the 10th percentile of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 62 years of record: 10th 47.2, 25th 70.3, median 93.4, 75th 114, 90th 168 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 42 ft³/s, highest 198 ft³/s.
