No flow at this gauge. USGS does not publish discharge here, so there are no flow statistics either; it reports what is shown. We found no other gauge on the same river that publishes flow.
Gauge height, last 7 days: 169 readings from Oct 29, 8:30 PM MST to Nov 5, 7:45 PM MST; ranging 2.35 to 10.4 ft; latest 2.75 ft.
USGS provisional data may be revised. Source: USGS instantaneous values.

Map of USGS gauge 09497830 and the river around it
Where CANYON CREEK ABOVE COW CREEK NEAR YOUNG, AZ sits and our water's map point.
Cool enough for trout. Water 50.5°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 51.8°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.”
AZGFD Fishing Report – June 2025 (24 June 2025) (Arizona Game and Fish Department)Steady over 24 hours (gauge height −0.14 ft). 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.
Species the agency lists for Canyon Creek: Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout.
From our page for Canyon Creek, on the same river as this gauge; the agency list is for the water, not this exact reach. Source: Commission Order 40 special regulations: catch-and-release only for trout (artificial fly and lure only, barbless hooks; some seasonal) (Arizona Game and Fish Department / Arizona Game and Fish Commission (2025-2026 Arizona Fishing Regulations, official eRegulations edition)).
Cold water. Water 50.5°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)Dissolved oxygen 9.2 mg/L at Nov 5, 7:45 PM MST; 7-day range 9–10 mg/L
Enough oxygen for coldwater fish: 9.2 mg/L meets the 6.5 mg/L EPA sets for coldwater fish (other life stages; eggs and fry need a 8 mg/L minimum).
Quality Criteria for Water 1986 (“Gold Book”): dissolved oxygen, Table 1; pH (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency)Specific conductance 172 µS/cm at Nov 5, 7:45 PM MST; 7-day range 75–231 µS/cm
Dissolved ions: Specific conductance rises with the ions dissolved in the water. No fishing threshold is published for it; compare with this gauge's own recent readings.
Conductivity (Electrical Conductance) and Water (U.S. Geological Survey)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, 8:18 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.
