Map of USGS gauge 14187200 and the river around it
Where SOUTH SANTIAM RIVER NEAR FOSTER, OR sits, with 4 other gauges on the same river and our water's map point.
Normal for Nov 5: 1,710–4,020 ft³/s (middle half of 52 years of record). Now: 1,310 ft³/s, below normal.
Below normal for this date. 1,310 ft³/s is between the 10th and 25th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 52 years of record (1974–2025): 10th 844, 25th 1,710, median 2,740, 75th 4,020, 90th 5,740 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 599 ft³/s, highest 12,100 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 56.3°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 56.3°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 South Fork Santiam 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 56.3°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)Dissolved oxygen 10.7 mg/L at Nov 5, 6:00 PM PST; 7-day range 9.8–10.9 mg/L
Enough oxygen for coldwater fish: 10.7 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)Turbidity 1.3 FNU at Nov 5, 6:00 PM PST; 7-day range 0.1–3.2 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)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 10.6 ft stage, 1,310 ft³/s at Nov 5, 6:10 PM PST (NWS gauge SSFO3; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS has not set flood categories for this gauge.
