Map of USGS gauge 09430020 and the river around it
Where W FORK GILA R BLW MDL FORK NR GILA HOT SPRINGS, NM 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. New Mexico Department of Game and Fish publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a New Mexico rule: 68°F.
Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish (NM Dept. of Wildlife): New Mexico weekly fishing and stocking report · .
USGS publishes no daily statistics for this gauge, so the reading is not compared with the record.
Falling over 24 hours: discharge down 37.2%, from 288 to 181 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.
Below NWS action stage. The National Weather Service reports this gauge below its action stage. That is not a statement that wading is safe.
Flood categories: action stage, minor, moderate and major flooding (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.
Below NWS action stage. The National Weather Service reports this gauge below its action stage. That is not a statement that wading is safe.
NWS observed 7.69 ft stage at Nov 5, 7:30 PM MST (NWS gauge MFGN5; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
Graphical forecasts are not available during times of high water, forecast crest information can be found in the local WFO web page.
