Map of USGS gauge 11377100 and the river around it
Where SACRAMENTO R AB BEND BRIDGE NR RED BLUFF CA sits, with 1 other gauge 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.
Species the agency lists for Lower Sacramento River: chinook salmon, steelhead, rainbow trout, striped bass, smallmouth bass, shad, sturgeon.
Source: (California State Parks, Division of Boating and Waterways).
Normal for Nov 5: 5,890–7,530 ft³/s (middle half of 63 years of record). Now: 6,450 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 6,450 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 63 years of record (1964–2026): 10th 4,880, 25th 5,890, median 6,670, 75th 7,530, 90th 8,290 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 4,270 ft³/s, highest 9,050 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.
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)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.
Below NWS action stage. The National Weather Service reports this gauge below its action stage. That is not a statement that wading is safe.
NWS observed 1.81 ft stage, 6,450 ft³/s at Nov 5, 4:45 PM PST (NWS gauge BDBC1; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS river forecast forecast issued Nov 5, 12:36 PM PST. Highest point: 1.83 ft, 6,490 ft³/s on Nov 5, 3:00 PM PST (Below NWS action stage).
