Map of USGS gauge 12010000 and the river around it
Where NASELLE RIVER NEAR NASELLE, WA sits.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a Washington rule: 68°F.

Normal for Nov 5: 224–747 ft³/s (middle half of 97 years of record). Now: 72.8 ft³/s, much below normal.
Much below normal for this date. 72.8 ft³/s is below the 10th percentile of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 97 years of record (1930–2026): 10th 97, 25th 224, median 444, 75th 747, 90th 1,330 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 20 ft³/s, highest 3,080 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).
Rising over 24 hours: discharge up 15.7%, from 62.9 to 72.8 ft³/s. 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.
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)Rising water. Rising over the last 24 hours (discharge up 15.7%). Keep your way back to the bank in sight and watch the level while you fish. “Rising” is our rule of thumb: more than 10% in discharge or 0.2 ft of gauge height in 24 hours, not a USGS or NWS class.
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.
