Map of USGS gauge 09201500 and the river around it
Where Boulder Creek above Boulder Lake, near Boulder, WY sits, with 1 other gauge on the same river 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 Wyoming Game and Fish uses are 65°F, 68°F and 70°F.
Species the agency lists for Boulder Creek: Brook Trout, Rainbow Trout.
Source: (Wyoming Game and Fish Department).
USGS publishes no daily statistics for this gauge, so the reading is not compared with the record.
Steady over 24 hours (−9.4% 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.
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.
