Map of USGS gauge 11501000 and the river around it
Where SPRAGUE RIVER NEAR CHILOQUIN, OR sits.
Under ODFW's 68°F line. Water 32°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 43.9°F. That is under the 68°F at which ODFW says trout, steelhead and salmon “start to feel stressed”. “Fish early in the morning when water temperatures are cooler and fish are more active.”
5 tips for fishing in hot water (Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife)Normal for Nov 5: 247–334 ft³/s (middle half of 104 years of record). Now: 208 ft³/s, much below normal.
Much below normal for this date. 208 ft³/s is below the 10th percentile of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 104 years of record (1922–2025): 10th 221, 25th 247, median 295, 75th 334, 90th 381 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 147 ft³/s, highest 576 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 (+0% 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 Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife: Oregon weekly trout stocking schedule · Oregon fishing regulations.
Cold water. Water 32°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)Turbidity 1.9 FNU at Nov 5, 2:00 PM PST; 7-day range 1.8–2.8 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 97 µS/cm at Nov 5, 2:00 PM PST; 7-day range 88–101 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.
The National Weather Service has no flood-stage gauge here, so no official flood category is shown.
Checked Nov 5, 7:22 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.
