Map of USGS gauge 11335000 and the river around it
Where COSUMNES R A MICHIGAN BAR 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: 20–54 ft³/s (middle half of 119 years of record). Now: 55.9 ft³/s, above normal.
Above normal for this date. 55.9 ft³/s is between the 75th and 90th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 119 years of record (1908–2026): 10th 9.5, 25th 20, median 35, 75th 54, 90th 94 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 0 ft³/s, highest 234 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 (−2.3% 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.
