Map of USGS gauge 10337500 and the river around it
Where TRUCKEE R A TAHOE CITY CA sits, with 3 other gauges on the same river and our water's map point.
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.
Normal for Nov 5: 47–277 ft³/s (middle half of 117 years of record). Now: 77.6 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 77.6 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 117 years of record (1910–2026): 10th 0.18, 25th 47, median 150, 75th 277, 90th 347 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 0 ft³/s, highest 1,680 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 (+0% 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.
This gauge is on the same river as our page for Truckee River, but no agency page we read lists its species.
