Map of USGS gauge 14159500 and the river around it
Where SOUTH FORK MCKENZIE RIVER NEAR RAINBOW, OR sits, with 1 other gauge on the same river.
Under ODFW's 68°F line. Water 51.6°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 52.2°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)Normal for Nov 5: 456–1,100 ft³/s (middle half of 79 years of record). Now: 526 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 526 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 79 years of record (1948–2026): 10th 300, 25th 456, median 862, 75th 1,100, 90th 1,640 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 194 ft³/s, highest 2,160 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 (−1.1% 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.
Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife: Oregon weekly trout stocking schedule · Oregon fishing regulations.
Cold water. Water 51.6°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)Dissolved oxygen 11.6 mg/L at Nov 5, 7:00 PM PST; 7-day range 11–12 mg/L
Enough oxygen for coldwater fish: 11.6 mg/L meets the 6.5 mg/L EPA sets for coldwater fish (other life stages; eggs and fry need a 8 mg/L minimum).
Quality Criteria for Water 1986 (“Gold Book”): dissolved oxygen, Table 1; pH (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency)pH 7.6 at Nov 5, 7:00 PM PST; 7-day range 7.6–7.9
Within EPA's freshwater range: pH 7.6 is within the 6.5–9 range EPA gives for freshwater aquatic life.
Quality Criteria for Water 1986 (“Gold Book”): dissolved oxygen, Table 1; pH (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency)Turbidity 2.4 FNU at Nov 5, 7:00 PM PST; 7-day range 1.5–2.7 FNU
Water clarity: Turbidity measures the relative clarity of water: higher means murkier. No agency publishes a fishing threshold for it; compare with this gauge's own recent readings.
Turbidity and Water (U.S. Geological Survey)Specific conductance 57 µS/cm at Nov 5, 7:00 PM PST; 7-day range 57–58 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 1.75 ft stage, 520 ft³/s at Nov 5, 6:45 PM PST (NWS gauge CGRO3; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS has not set flood categories for this gauge.
Forecasts are issued routinely year-round.
