Reading Nov 5, 7:00 PM PST · provisional USGS data
No flow at this gauge. USGS does not publish discharge here, so there are no flow statistics either; it reports what is shown. Flow on the same river: TUALATIN RIVER AT HWY 219 NEAR HILLSBORO, OR (USGS 14206241, 8.3 miles away).
Water temperature, last 7 days: 169 readings from Oct 29, 8:00 PM PDT to Nov 5, 7:00 PM PST; ranging 52.2 to 55.2 °F; latest 54 °F.
USGS provisional data may be revised. Source: USGS instantaneous values.

Map of USGS gauge 14206694 and the river around it
Where TUALATIN RIVER AT RIVER MILE 24.5, NR SCHOLLS, OR sits, with 4 other gauges on the same river and our water's map point.
Under ODFW's 68°F line. Water 54°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 54°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 Tualatin River: Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon.
Source: Salmon and steelhead sport catch waterbodies (2025 expanded catch by month and waterbody code) (Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife).
Cold water. Water 54°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 7.7 mg/L at Nov 5, 7:00 PM PST; 7-day range 7.4–7.9 mg/L
Enough oxygen for coldwater fish: 7.7 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)pH 7.4 at Nov 5, 7:00 PM PST; 7-day range 7.3–7.4
Within EPA's freshwater range: pH 7.4 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)Specific conductance 296 µS/cm at Nov 5, 7:00 PM PST; 7-day range 218–314 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, 7:53 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.
