Map of USGS gauge 09473000 and the river around it
Where ARAVAIPA CREEK NEAR MAMMOTH, AZ. sits.
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: 9.7–18 ft³/s (middle half of 72 years of record). Now: 25.3 ft³/s, above normal.
Above normal for this date. 25.3 ft³/s is between the 75th and 90th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 72 years of record (1932–2026): 10th 7.2, 25th 9.7, median 12, 75th 18, 90th 29 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 1.11 ft³/s, highest 55 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 27.9%, from 35.1 to 25.3 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.
