Map of USGS gauge 11463000 and the river around it
Where RUSSIAN R NR CLOVERDALE CA sits, with 8 other gauges on the same river and our water's map point.
Normal for Nov 5: 166–286 ft³/s (middle half of 75 years of record). Now: 156 ft³/s, below normal.
Below normal for this date. 156 ft³/s is between the 10th and 25th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 75 years of record (1952–2026): 10th 101, 25th 166, median 210, 75th 286, 90th 352 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 44.1 ft³/s, highest 546 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 (−2.5% 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.
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 Russian River: Steelhead.

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 9.1 mg/L at Nov 1, 12:45 AM PDT; 7-day range 9–10 mg/L; more than a day old
Enough oxygen for coldwater fish: 9.1 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).
