Map of USGS gauge 09502830 and the river around it
Where BIG CHINO WASH AT PAULDEN, 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.
Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the Arizona Game and Fish Department: Arizona fish stocking schedule · Arizona fishing licenses and regulations.
USGS publishes no daily statistics for this gauge, so the reading is not compared with the record.
Falling over 24 hours: discharge down 75.9%, from 181 to 43.6 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.
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.
