Map of USGS gauge 09442681 and the river around it
Where SAN FRANCISCO RIVER AT RESERVE, 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 18.8%, from 107 to 86.9 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.
