Map of USGS gauge 13147900 and the river around it
Where LITTLE WOOD RIVER AB HIGH FIVE CREEK NR CAREY 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.
Species the agency lists for Little Wood River: Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Mountain Whitefish, Rainbow Trout.
Source: (Idaho Department of Fish and Game).
Normal for Nov 5: 46–73 ft³/s (middle half of 64 years of record). Now: 44.7 ft³/s, below normal.
Below normal for this date. 44.7 ft³/s is between the 10th and 25th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 64 years of record (1959–2026): 10th 37, 25th 46, median 57, 75th 73, 90th 85 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 25.2 ft³/s, highest 160 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 (−1.8% 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.
Below NWS action stage. The National Weather Service reports this gauge below its action stage. That is not a statement that wading is safe.
