Map of USGS gauge 12148500 and the river around it
Where TOLT RIVER NEAR CARNATION, WA sits and our water's map point.
Federal guidance. 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:
Under the federal 68°F line. Water 48.6°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 49.3°F. That is under the 68°F at which the National Park Service, at Grand Teton National Park, recommends anglers stop fishing in the afternoon (“cease fishing at 2 p.m. when water temperatures are likely to exceed 68°F”). Water warms through the afternoon, so check again later in the day: “Carry a pocket thermometer to monitor water temperature.”
Normal for Nov 5: 316–769 ft³/s (middle half of 93 years of record). Now: 140 ft³/s, much below normal.
Much below normal for this date. 140 ft³/s is below the 10th percentile of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 93 years of record: 10th 216, 25th 316, median 540, 75th 769, 90th 1,306 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 79 ft³/s, highest 1,890 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 21.7%, from 115 to 140 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.
This gauge is on our page for Tolt River, but no agency page we read lists its species.
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 21.7%). 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.
Cold water. Water 48.6°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 0.2 FNU at Nov 5, 8:15 PM PST; 7-day range 0.1–0.4 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)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.
Below NWS action stage. The National Weather Service reports this gauge below its action stage. That is not a statement that wading is safe.
NWS observed 4.5 ft³/s at Nov 5, 6:15 PM PST (NWS gauge TOLW1; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS river forecast forecast issued Nov 5, 4:01 PM PST. Highest point: 5.7 ft³/s on Nov 10, 10:00 PM PST (Below NWS action stage).

| Thu, Nov 5 | – | 4.5 ft³/s |
| Fri, Nov 6 | – | 4.6 ft³/s |
| Sat, Nov 7 | – | 4.8 ft³/s |
