ANIMAS RIVER AT SILVERTON, CO.

USGS 09358000 · Colorado · reports discharge (live), gauge height

Caution: High water: fish the edges; wading risky

Flow 207 ft³/s: the highest daily mean on record for Nov 5, over 34 years of USGS record. U.S. Geological Survey
Falling: discharge down 30.5% in 24 hours (298 to 207 ft³/s). Our rule of thumb: more than 10% (or 0.2 ft) in 24 hours, not a USGS class.

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

General guidance from the readings and the published lines named above, not a fishing forecast. Local rules and closures come first.

Conditions for fishing general guidance

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.

Species

This gauge is on the same river as our page for , but no agency page we read lists its species.
