Normal for Nov 5: 14–73 ft³/s (middle half of 66 years of record). Now: 4.02 ft³/s, much below normal.
Much below normal for this date. 4.02 ft³/s is below the 10th percentile of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 66 years of record (1961–2026): 10th 6.1, 25th 14, median 41, 75th 73, 90th 122 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 3.1 ft³/s, highest 328 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 16.5%, from 3.45 to 4.02 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.
Water temperature, last 7 days: 169 readings from Oct 29, 7:45 PM PDT to Nov 5, 6:45 PM PST; ranging 38.7 to 43.7 °F; latest 42.6 °F.

Map of USGS gauge 14158790 and the river around it
Where SMITH RIVER ABV SMITH R RESV,NR BELKNAP SPRNGS,OR sits, with 1 other gauge on the same river.
Under ODFW's 68°F line. Water 42.6°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 43.2°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 list not on file for this gauge. Check the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife: Oregon weekly trout stocking schedule · Oregon fishing regulations.
Rising water. Rising over the last 24 hours (discharge up 16.5%). 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 42.6°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 48 µS/cm at Nov 5, 6:45 PM PST; 7-day range 45–48 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.
The National Weather Service has no flood-stage gauge here, so no official flood category is shown.

Checked Nov 5, 7:20 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.
