Map of USGS gauge 10254730 and the river around it
Where ALAMO R NR NILAND CA sits.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer: the trout lines CDFW uses are 67°F.
Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the California Department of Fish and Wildlife: California fish planting schedule · California fishing regulations.
Normal for Nov 5: 757–875 ft³/s (middle half of 66 years of record). Now: 640 ft³/s, much below normal.
Much below normal for this date. 640 ft³/s is below the 10th percentile of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 66 years of record (1961–2026): 10th 678, 25th 757, median 824, 75th 875, 90th 929 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 529 ft³/s, highest 990 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).
Rising over 24 hours: discharge up 10.3%, from 580 to 640 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.
Rising water. Rising over the last 24 hours (discharge up 10.3%). Keep your way back to the bank in sight and watch the level while you fish. “Rising” is our rule of thumb: more than 10% in discharge or 0.2 ft of gauge height in 24 hours, not a USGS or NWS 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.
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.
The National Weather Service has no flood-stage gauge here, so no official flood category is shown.
Checked Nov 5, 8:24 PM PST; 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.
