Map of USGS gauge 09383050 and the river around it
Where COLORADO RIVER NEAR RIVER MILE 30 sits, with 2 other gauges on the same river and our water's map point.
Cool enough for trout. Water 56.7°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 56.8°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.”
This gauge is on our page for Colorado River, but no agency page we read lists its species.
Cold water. Water 56.7°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)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.
The National Weather Service has no flood-stage gauge here, so no official flood category is shown.
Checked Nov 5, 6:58 PM MST; readings refresh at most every 15 minutes and statistics daily. Provisional USGS data can be revised. Conditions change: re-check before you go. This is general guidance, not a fishing forecast, a safety guarantee or a statement about access.
