Map of USGS gauge 10338700 and the river around it
Where DONNER C AT HWY 89 NR TRUCKEE CA sits, with 1 other gauge on the same river.
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: 11–60 ft³/s (middle half of 33 years of record). Now: 59.4 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 59.4 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 33 years of record (1994–2026): 10th 5.5, 25th 11, median 20, 75th 60, 90th 93 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 3.08 ft³/s, highest 156 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 (−3.4% 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.
