Map of USGS gauge 14138850 and the river around it
Where BULL RUN RIVER NEAR MULTNOMAH FALLS, OR sits, with 4 other gauges on the same river and our water's map point.
Normal for Nov 5: 197–726 ft³/s (middle half of 60 years of record). Now: 90.8 ft³/s, below normal.
Below normal for this date. 90.8 ft³/s is between the 10th and 25th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 60 years of record (1967–2026): 10th 90, 25th 197, median 374, 75th 726, 90th 1,000 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 33 ft³/s, highest 3,950 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).
Rising over 24 hours: discharge up 91.2%, from 47.5 to 90.8 ft³/s. 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.
Under ODFW's 68°F line. Water 45.7°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 45.7°F. That is under the 68°F at which ODFW says trout, steelhead and salmon “start to feel stressed”. “Fish early in the morning when water temperatures are cooler and fish are more active.”
5 tips for fishing in hot water (Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife)Species the agency lists for Bull Run River: Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, Steelhead.
Source: Salmon and steelhead sport catch waterbodies (2025 expanded catch by month and waterbody code) (Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife).
Rising water. Rising over the last 24 hours (discharge up 91.2%). Keep your way back to the bank in sight and watch the level while you fish. “Rising” is our rule of thumb: more than 10% in discharge or 0.2 ft of gauge height in 24 hours, not a USGS or NWS class.
Cold water. Water 45.7°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.
Turn Around Don't Drown (National Weather Service)Specific conductance 26 µS/cm at Nov 5, 4:00 PM PST; 7-day range 24–28 µS/cm
Dissolved ions: Specific conductance rises with the ions dissolved in the water. No fishing threshold is published for it; compare with this gauge's own recent readings.
Conductivity (Electrical Conductance) and Water (U.S. Geological Survey)Guidance from the readings above and the published thresholds named with each line; not a fishing forecast, a safety guarantee or a statement about access. Local rules and closures come first.
NWS observed 2.93 ft stage, 92 ft³/s at Nov 5, 3:45 PM PST (NWS gauge BMFO3; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS has not set flood categories for this gauge.
Graphical forecasts are not available during times of high water, forecast crest information can be found in the local WFO web page.

Checked Nov 5, 4:43 PM PST; readings refresh at most every 15 minutes and statistics daily. Provisional USGS data can be revised. Conditions change: re-check before you go. This is general guidance, not a fishing forecast, a safety guarantee or a statement about access.
