Map of USGS gauge 13310199 and the river around it
Where MF SALMON RIVER AT MOUTH NR SHOUP, ID sits 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 Middle Fork Salmon River: Brook Trout, Bull Trout, Cutthroat Trout, Mountain Whitefish, Rainbow Trout.
From our page for Middle Fork Salmon River, on the same river as this gauge; the agency list is for the water, not this exact reach. Source: IDFG Recommended Fishing Waters (Idaho Fishing Planner) (Idaho Department of Fish and Game).
Normal for Nov 5: 1,050–1,310 ft³/s (middle half of 33 years of record). Now: 1,040 ft³/s, below normal.
Below normal for this date. 1,040 ft³/s is between the 10th and 25th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 33 years of record (1994–2026): 10th 856, 25th 1,050, median 1,160, 75th 1,310, 90th 1,560 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 752 ft³/s, highest 1,690 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 (−2.8% 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.
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.
