Normal for Nov 5: 52–74 ft³/s (middle half of 42 years of record). Now: 58.3 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 58.3 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 42 years of record (1922–2026): 10th 41, 25th 52, median 62, 75th 74, 90th 84 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 24 ft³/s, highest 144 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 (−3.2% 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.
Water temperature, last 7 days: 169 readings from Oct 29, 7:15 PM MDT to Nov 5, 6:15 PM MST; ranging 34.5 to 42.8 °F; latest 40.5 °F.

Map of USGS gauge 13296000 and the river around it
Where YANKEE FORK SALMON RIVER NR CLAYTON ID sits and our water's map point.
Under 66°F. Water 40.5°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 41.4°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.”
Perspective: Trout fishing during low water and high temperatures (25 July 2024; archived copy) (Idaho Department of Fish and Game) The heat is on, but trout and other coldwater fish have been around the block a time or two (9 Aug 2022; archived copy) (Idaho Department of Fish and Game)Species the agency lists for Yankee Fork Salmon River: Brook Trout, Bull Trout, Cutthroat Trout, Mountain Whitefish, Rainbow Trout, Redband Trout.

Below NWS action stage. The National Weather Service reports this gauge below its action stage. That is not a statement that wading is safe.
Flood categories: action stage, minor, moderate and major flooding (National Weather Service)Cold water. Water 40.5°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.
