UNCOMPAHGRE RIVER NEAR RIDGWAY, CO.

USGS 09146200 · Colorado · reports discharge (live), gauge height

Caution: High water: fish the edges; wading risky

Flow 206 ft³/s: the highest daily mean on record for Nov 5, over 68 years of USGS record. U.S. Geological Survey
Below NWS action stage (official NWS category). That is not a statement that wading is safe. National Weather Service

What the agencies suggest

Fish the softer water along the banks. During periods of high water, fish move towards the banks to find calmer water and lower velocities Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission
Don't wade where you can't see the bottom. Wading and boating should be avoided if waters are running high and muddy and the streambed is not visible Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission
Or fish a lake instead. If stream conditions are not favorable, consider fishing at a lake Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission
