Map of USGS gauge 10291500 and the river around it
Where BUCKEYE CK NR BRIDGEPORT, 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: 14–26 ft³/s (middle half of 50 years of record). Now: 12.5 ft³/s, below normal.
Below normal for this date. 12.5 ft³/s is between the 10th and 25th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 50 years of record (1912–2026): 10th 11, 25th 14, median 19, 75th 26, 90th 33 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 7.88 ft³/s, highest 38 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).
Steady over 24 hours (−3.1% discharge). 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.
