Map of USGS gauge 14159110 and the river around it
Where MCKENZIE RIVER ABOVE SOUTH FORK, NEAR RAINBOW, OR sits, with 6 other gauges on the same river and our water's map point.
Steady over 24 hours (gauge height +0.01 ft). 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 45.5°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 46.4°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.
From our page for McKenzie River, on the same river as this gauge; the agency list is for the water, not this exact reach. Source: Salmon and steelhead sport catch waterbodies (2025 expanded catch by month and waterbody code) (Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife).
Cold water. Water 45.5°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)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, 8:01 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.
