Map of USGS gauge 11390000 and the river around it
Where BUTTE C NR CHICO CA sits.
Under CDFW's 67°F line. Water 51.1°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 51.4°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)Normal for Nov 5: 102–170 ft³/s (middle half of 96 years of record). Now: 111 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 111 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 96 years of record (1931–2026): 10th 87, 25th 102, median 125, 75th 170, 90th 220 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 61 ft³/s, highest 608 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 (+2.8% 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.
Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the California Department of Fish and Wildlife: California fish planting schedule · California fishing regulations.
Cold water. Water 51.1°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, 6:06 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.
