Map of USGS gauge 14207500 and the river around it
Where TUALATIN RIVER AT WEST LINN, OR sits, with 4 other gauges on the same river and our water's map point.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer: the trout lines ODFW uses are 68°F and 70°F.
Normal for Nov 5: 190–687 ft³/s (middle half of 97 years of record). Now: 239 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 239 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 97 years of record (1929–2025): 10th 86, 25th 190, median 364, 75th 687, 90th 1,400 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 21 ft³/s, highest 3,390 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 (+2.6% 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 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).
