Map of USGS gauge 13351000 and the river around it
Where PALOUSE RIVER AT HOOPER, WA 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. Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a Washington rule: 68°F.
Species the agency lists for Palouse River: Brook Trout, Rainbow Trout.
From our page for Palouse 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: 67–118 ft³/s (middle half of 92 years of record). Now: 70.5 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 70.5 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 92 years of record (1898–2026): 10th 53, 25th 67, median 85, 75th 118, 90th 162 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 20 ft³/s, highest 257 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 (+3.4% 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.
