Map of USGS gauge 10336660 and the river around it
Where BLACKWOOD C NR TAHOE CITY CA sits.
Under CDFW's 67°F line. Water 41.5°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 43.2°F. That is not over the 67°F CDFW uses for its voluntary “Hoot Owl” watchlist: “Sustained afternoon water temperatures exceeding 67 degrees Fahrenheit for trout fisheries could trigger additions to the list.” Water warms in the afternoon; check again later in the day.
CDFW Recommends “Hoot Owl” Practices for Fishing Inland Waters During Drought (15 July 2022) (California Department of Fish and Wildlife)Normal for Nov 5: 2.1–5.1 ft³/s (middle half of 66 years of record). Now: 1.47 ft³/s, much below normal.
Much below normal for this date. 1.47 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 1.7, 25th 2.1, median 3, 75th 5.1, 90th 16 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 1.06 ft³/s, highest 32.6 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 (−4.5% 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.

Below NWS action stage. The National Weather Service reports this gauge below its action stage. That is not a statement that wading is safe.
Flood categories: action stage, minor, moderate and major flooding (National Weather Service)Cold water. Water 41.5°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)Turbidity 0.8 FNU at Nov 5, 5:00 PM PST; 7-day range 0.7–1.1 FNU
Water clarity: Turbidity measures the relative clarity of water: higher means murkier. No agency publishes a fishing threshold for it; compare with this gauge's own recent readings.
