Map of USGS gauge 11475000 and the river around it
Where EEL R A FORT SEWARD CA sits and our water's map point.
Under CDFW's 67°F line. Water 57°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 59.2°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: 83–482 ft³/s (middle half of 71 years of record). Now: 79.4 ft³/s, below normal.
Below normal for this date. 79.4 ft³/s is between the 10th and 25th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 71 years of record (1956–2026): 10th 57, 25th 83, median 139, 75th 482, 90th 1,950 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 38 ft³/s, highest 6,620 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 (+2.6% 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 the agency lists for Eel River: Steelhead.
From our page for Eel River, on the same river as this gauge; the agency list is for the water, not this exact reach. Source: Steelhead Report and Restoration Card location codes (named river systems) (California Department of Fish and Wildlife Fisheries Branch).
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 57°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.
