Map of USGS gauge 12306500 and the river around it
Where MOYIE RIVER AT EASTPORT ID sits 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 Idaho Fish and Game uses are 66°F and 73°F.
Species the agency lists for Moyie River: Brook Trout, Mountain Whitefish, Rainbow Trout.

Normal for Nov 5: 83–193 ft³/s (middle half of 97 years of record). Now: 54.9 ft³/s, much below normal.
Much below normal for this date. 54.9 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 63, 25th 83, median 124, 75th 193, 90th 507 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 41 ft³/s, highest 1,510 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.
