Map of USGS gauge 11462500 and the river around it
Where RUSSIAN R NR HOPLAND CA sits, with 3 other gauges on the same river and our water's map point.
Normal for Nov 5: 158–245 ft³/s (middle half of 87 years of record). Now: 141 ft³/s, below normal.
Below normal for this date. 141 ft³/s is between the 10th and 25th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 87 years of record (1940–2026): 10th 106, 25th 158, median 203, 75th 245, 90th 363 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 43 ft³/s, highest 545 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 (+3.7% 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 59.9°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 61°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)Species the agency lists for Russian River: Steelhead.

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)Cold water. Water 59.9°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)Dissolved oxygen 8.9 mg/L at Nov 5, 5:45 PM PST; 7-day range 8.4–9.2 mg/L
Enough oxygen for coldwater fish: 8.9 mg/L meets the 6.5 mg/L EPA sets for coldwater fish (other life stages; eggs and fry need a 8 mg/L minimum).
Quality Criteria for Water 1986 (“Gold Book”): dissolved oxygen, Table 1; pH (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency)pH 7.6 at Nov 5, 5:45 PM PST; 7-day range 7.6–7.7
Within EPA's freshwater range: pH 7.6 is within the 6.5–9 range EPA gives for freshwater aquatic life.
Quality Criteria for Water 1986 (“Gold Book”): dissolved oxygen, Table 1; pH (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency)Turbidity 13.6 FNU at Nov 5, 5:15 PM PST; 7-day range 11.8–20.1 FNU
Water clarity: Turbidity measures the relative clarity of water: higher means murkier. No agency publishes a fishing threshold for it; compare with this gauge's own recent readings.
Turbidity and Water (U.S. Geological Survey)Specific conductance 226 µS/cm at Nov 5, 5:45 PM PST; 7-day range 217–227 µS/cm
Dissolved ions: Specific conductance rises with the ions dissolved in the water. No fishing threshold is published for it; compare with this gauge's own recent readings.
Conductivity (Electrical Conductance) and Water (U.S. Geological Survey)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 0.9 ft stage, 141 ft³/s at Nov 5, 4:45 PM PST (NWS gauge HOPC1; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS river forecast forecast issued Nov 5, 12:38 PM PST. Highest point: 0.89 ft, 140 ft³/s on Nov 5, 6:00 PM PST (Below NWS action stage).
