Map of USGS gauge 13213000 and the river around it
Where BOISE RIVER NR PARMA ID sits, with 3 other gauges on the same river and our water's map point.
Water 52.9°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 53.6°F. In the study Idaho Fish and Game cites, trout landed in water under 66°F survived best: mortality “was 69% higher for trout landed at 73°F water temperatures than for those landed when waters were less than 66°F.” In summer, “early-mornings are typically best while the water is still cool.”
Normal for Nov 5: 888–1,000 ft³/s (middle half of 50 years of record). Now: 799 ft³/s, much below normal.
Much below normal for this date. 799 ft³/s is below the 10th percentile of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 50 years of record (1972–2026): 10th 808, 25th 888, median 934, 75th 1,000, 90th 1,150 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 636 ft³/s, highest 2,320 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 (+0.8% 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.
This gauge is on the same river as our page for Boise River, but no agency page we read lists its species.
Cold water. Water 52.9°F. NWS: “Cold shock can be just as severe and dangerous from water temperatures of 50-60°F (10-15°C) as it is from water at 35°F (2°C).” “Always wear a life jacket in and around the water.”
Cold Water Hazards and Safety (National Weather Service)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.

NWS observed 8.93 ft stage, 806 ft³/s at Nov 5, 8:00 PM MST (NWS gauge PARI1; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS has not set flood categories for this gauge.
NWS river forecast forecast issued Nov 5, 8:41 AM MST. Highest point: 8.91 ft, 793 ft³/s on Nov 13, 5:00 AM MST.
