Map of USGS gauge 09380000 and the river around it
Where COLORADO RIVER AT LEES FERRY, AZ sits, with 1 other gauge on the same river and our water's map point.
Cool enough for trout. Water 56.5°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 57°F. Arizona Game and Fish: “Trout thrive in cool (below 68 degrees), clean, well-oxygenated water.” “Fish early in the morning when water temperatures are cooler.”
AZGFD Fishing Report – June 2025 (24 June 2025)Normal for Nov 5: 6,530–11,700 ft³/s (middle half of 105 years of record). Now: 7,870 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 7,870 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 105 years of record (1922–2026): 10th 4,880, 25th 6,530, median 8,430, 75th 11,700, 90th 15,900 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 1,000 ft³/s, highest 34,800 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 (−0.4% 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.
Species the agency lists for Colorado River at Lees Ferry: rainbow trout.

Cold water. Water 56.5°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)Dissolved oxygen 4.8 mg/L at Nov 5, 9:00 PM MST; 7-day range 3.9–5.8 mg/L
Below EPA's coldwater mean: 4.8 mg/L is under the 6.5 mg/L 30-day mean EPA sets for coldwater fish (other life stages), though above its 4 mg/L minimum. One reading is not a 30-day mean. Wyoming Game and Fish: “Higher water temperatures lead to lower oxygen levels.”
Quality Criteria for Water 1986 (“Gold Book”): dissolved oxygen, Table 1; pH (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency) Anglers encouraged to adjust fishing practices as temperatures rise (Wyoming Game and Fish Department)pH 7.8 at Nov 5, 9:00 PM MST; 7-day range 7.7–7.8
Within EPA's freshwater range: pH 7.8 is within the 6.5–9 range EPA gives for freshwater aquatic life.
Quality Criteria for Water 1986 (“Gold Book”): dissolved oxygen, Table 1; pH (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency)Turbidity 0.4 FNU at Nov 5, 9:00 PM MST; 7-day range 0.2–2.2 FNU
Water clarity: Turbidity measures the relative clarity of water: higher means murkier. No agency publishes a fishing threshold for it; compare with this gauge's own recent readings.
Turbidity and Water (U.S. Geological Survey)Specific conductance 911 µS/cm at Nov 5, 9:00 PM MST; 7-day range 901–920 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.
NWS observed 8.09 ft stage, 7,940 ft³/s at Nov 5, 8:00 PM MST (NWS gauge CLFA3; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS has not set flood categories for this gauge.
NWS river forecast forecast issued Nov 5, 9:47 AM MST. Highest point: 8.11 ft, 8,000 ft³/s on Nov 5, 8:00 AM MST.
