Map of USGS gauge 11276500 and the river around it
Where TUOLUMNE R NR HETCH HETCHY CA sits, with 3 other gauges on the same river and our water's map point.
Normal for Nov 5: 37–62 ft³/s (middle half of 59 years of record). Now: 55 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 55 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 59 years of record (1968–2026): 10th 35, 25th 37, median 54, 75th 62, 90th 68 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 33 ft³/s, highest 840 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.
Under CDFW's 67°F line. Water 52°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 52.7°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)This gauge is on our page for Tuolumne River, but no agency page we read lists its species.
Cold water. Water 52°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)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, 6:55 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.
