Map of USGS gauge 12417650 and the river around it
Where SPOKANE RIVER BLW BLACKWELL NR COEUR D ALENE ID 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 Idaho Fish and Game uses are 66°F and 73°F.
Normal for Nov 5: 2,340–3,490 ft³/s (middle half of 12 years of record). Now: 2,150 ft³/s, below normal.
Below normal for this date. 2,150 ft³/s is between the 10th and 25th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 12 years of record (2015–2026): 10th 2,090, 25th 2,340, median 2,630, 75th 3,490, 90th 5,010 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 2,000 ft³/s, highest 5,600 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 (−0.5% 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 Spokane River: Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout, Smallmouth Bass.

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)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.
The National Weather Service has no flood-stage gauge here, so no official flood category is shown.
Checked Nov 5, 8:00 PM PST; readings refresh at most every 15 minutes and statistics daily. Provisional USGS data can be revised. Conditions change: re-check before you go. This is general guidance, not a fishing forecast, a safety guarantee or a statement about access.
