Map of USGS gauge 13060000 and the river around it
Where SNAKE RIVER NR SHELLEY ID sits, with 6 other gauges on the same river.
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: 2,650–4,040 ft³/s (middle half of 100 years of record). Now: 2,570 ft³/s, below normal.
Below normal for this date. 2,570 ft³/s is between the 10th and 25th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 100 years of record (1916–2026): 10th 2,070, 25th 2,650, median 3,180, 75th 4,040, 90th 5,370 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 350 ft³/s, highest 7,950 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 12.6%, from 2,940 to 2,570 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.
