Map of USGS gauge 14158500 and the river around it
Where MCKENZIE RIVER AT OUTLET OF CLEAR LAKE, OR sits, with 4 other gauges on the same river and our water's map point.
Normal for Nov 5: 202–322 ft³/s (middle half of 82 years of record). Now: 112 ft³/s, lowest for this date on record.
Lowest for this date on record for this date. 112 ft³/s is below the lowest daily mean recorded on this date of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 82 years of record (1913–2026): 10th 177, 25th 202, median 247, 75th 322, 90th 422 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 139 ft³/s, highest 1,110 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% 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.
Under ODFW's 68°F line. Water 42.3°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 42.6°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 McKenzie 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).
Cold water. Water 42.3°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 61 µS/cm at Nov 5, 6:30 PM PST; 7-day range 61–61 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 0.76 ft stage, 112 ft³/s at Nov 5, 6:30 PM PST (NWS gauge MOCO3; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS has not set flood categories for this gauge.
