Map of USGS gauge 12413860 and the river around it
Where COEUR D ALENE RIVER NR HARRISON ID sits, with 1 other gauge 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 Idaho Fish and Game uses are 66°F and 73°F.
This gauge is on our page for Coeur d'Alene River, but no agency page we read lists its species.
Normal for Nov 5: 693–1,170 ft³/s (middle half of 22 years of record). Now: 414 ft³/s, much below normal.
Much below normal for this date. 414 ft³/s is below the 10th percentile of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 22 years of record (2005–2026): 10th 540, 25th 693, median 795, 75th 1,170, 90th 2,040 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 378 ft³/s, highest 3,420 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).
Falling over 24 hours: discharge down 32.7%, from 615 to 414 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.
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)Dissolved oxygen 11 mg/L at Nov 5, 6:45 PM PST; 7-day range 10.6–11.1 mg/L
Enough oxygen for coldwater fish: 11 mg/L meets the 6.5 mg/L EPA sets for coldwater fish (other life stages; eggs and fry need a 8 mg/L minimum).
Quality Criteria for Water 1986 (“Gold Book”): dissolved oxygen, Table 1; pH (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency)pH 7.4 at Nov 5, 6:45 PM PST; 7-day range 7.4–7.5
Within EPA's freshwater range: pH 7.4 is within the 6.5–9 range EPA gives for freshwater aquatic life.
Quality Criteria for Water 1986 (“Gold Book”): dissolved oxygen, Table 1; pH (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency)Turbidity 2.3 FNU at Nov 5, 6:45 PM PST; 7-day range 2–2.8 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 107 µS/cm at Nov 5, 6:45 PM PST; 7-day range 107–110 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.
NWS observation not current. NWS has no current observation at this gauge, so no flood category is shown.
NWS has not set flood categories for this gauge.
