Map of USGS gauge 11526250 and the river around it
Where TRINITY R A JUNCTION CITY CA sits, with 3 other gauges on the same river and our water's map point.
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.
Normal for Nov 5: 332–397 ft³/s (middle half of 24 years of record). Now: 374 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 374 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 24 years of record (2003–2026): 10th 318, 25th 332, median 354, 75th 397, 90th 467 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 313 ft³/s, highest 523 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 the agency lists for Trinity River: Steelhead, Chinook, Coho Salmon, Brown Trout.
