Map of USGS gauge 09382000 and the river around it
Where PARIA RIVER AT LEES FERRY, AZ sits, with 1 other gauge on the same river.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer: the trout lines Arizona Game and Fish uses are 67°F.

Normal for Nov 5: 11–19 ft³/s (middle half of 103 years of record). Now: 21.2 ft³/s, above normal.
Above normal for this date. 21.2 ft³/s is between the 75th and 90th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 103 years of record (1924–2026): 10th 9, 25th 11, median 14, 75th 19, 90th 25 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 5.53 ft³/s, highest 90 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).
Falling over 24 hours: discharge down 22.6%, from 27.4 to 21.2 ft³/s. 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.
