Map of USGS gauge 14207770 and the river around it
Where WILLAMETTE RIVER BELOW FALLS, AT OREGON CITY, OR sits, with 3 other gauges on the same river and our water's map point.
Rising over 24 hours: gauge height up 0.69 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 52°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 52.3°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 Willamette River: Bass, Panfish, Salmon, Steelhead, Trout.
From our page for Willamette River, on the same river as this gauge; the agency list is for the water, not this exact reach. Source: ODFW '50 places to go fishing' guides (Portland, Medford, Roseburg, Bend, Lane County, South Coast) (Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife).
Below NWS action stage. The National Weather Service reports this gauge below its action stage. That is not a statement that wading is safe.
Flood categories: action stage, minor, moderate and major flooding (National Weather Service)Rising water. Rising over the last 24 hours (gauge height up 0.69 ft). Keep your way back to the bank in sight and watch the level while you fish. “Rising” is our rule of thumb: more than 10% in discharge or 0.2 ft of gauge height in 24 hours, not a USGS or NWS class.
Cold water. Water 52°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.
